“Amhrán Mhuínse” or “Amhrán Mhuighinse” is a traditional sean-nós lament from Connemara in the West of Ireland. The song is sung from the perspective of a dying woman, who wishes for her body to be returned to the remote Connemara island of Maínis or ”Mweenish”. Taimín Bán is the name of her husband. It is unknown how old the song is, but it is thought to be from the nineteenth century. The melody is probably much older, and was used for a variety of traditional songs in Irish and English.

Is cumha sean-nóis traidisiúnta as Conamara in iarthar na hÉireann é “Amhrán Mhuínse” nó “Amhrán Mhuighinse”. Cantar an t-amhrán ó pheirspictíocht mná atá ag fáil bháis, ar mian léi go dtabharfaí a corp ar ais go Maínis, oileán iargúlta Chonamara nó “Mweenish”. Taimín Bán an t-ainm atá ar a fear. Ní fios cén aois é an t-amhrán, ach ceaptar gur ón naoú haois déag é. Is dócha go bhfuil an tséis i bhfad níos sine, agus baineadh úsáid as le haghaidh éagsúlacht amhrán traidisiúnta i nGaeilge agus i mBéarla.
