Описание к видео Tonn Tóime (is fada liom oíche fíor fluich) -Song by Aodhagáin Ó Rathaille.

Aogán Ó Rathaille was evicted from his home in Scrahanavíl, and found a home in the poorer lands by the wild coast of west Kerry. But in this exposed harsher soil he found both beauty and fierceness in nature that reflected his own troubled spirit. An tAthair Pádraig Ó Dinnín wrote:
"In this very beautiful and pathetic poem the author gives us what may be called a biographical snap shot of himself. Pressed apparently by dire poverty, he had changed his residence, and found himself in a land of surprising loveliness. Duibhneacha, where the poem was composed, lies at the mouth of Castlemaine Harbour, near Ros Beithe. It is night, and a storm rages on land and wave. Tonn Tóime thunders with deafening noise. His sleep is disturbed, and he breaks forth in lament for the chieftains who, if they lived, would relieve his distress. He chides the waves for their angry clamour."

Words by Aodhagáin Ó Rathaille. Sung by Lorcán Mac Mathúna
Music by Lorcán Mac Mathúna, Martin Tourish, and Éamonn Galldubh
