it's interesting listening to irish folk music because it's mostly recognizable english but you occasionally hear these cute little dialectical quirks, like "true love" for "boyfriend" or "for to" for "to, in order to". i'm never quite sure what's archaic usage and what's just normal irish english
get you a man who sails away to america his fortune for to find & sends money every week to his true love left behind

@velartrill if you like irish folk, radie peat is a pretty nice singer *. shes also with lankum, but their songs are a bit hit & miss for me. don't care too much for the singer they got there.
