Máire grew up as the eldest child of a very musical family in the remote parish of Gweedore (Gaoth Dobhair), a Gaeltacht area in which the Irish language and tradition continue to flourish, in Ireland's northernmost county, County Donegal. Her mother Máire (née Ní Dhúgáin or Duggan in English) was a music teacher and her father, Leo Brennan, was a member of a cabaret band with whom she performed as a child.

Gone Are the Days

by: Moya Brennan

When I was younger then
Found sweeter moments
No worries or cost
Not guilty or lost
Never afraid to fly
Was never afraid to cry
Fada, fada go banú an lae
Fada, fada go banú an lae
Fada, fada go banú an lae
Fada, fada go banú an lae
Long, long gone are the days
Gone are the ways, now of my life
Dreaming of hearts still young
This tide now turning
Ready to begin
Still trying to win
Nothing remains the same
Why, even the change will change
Fada, fada go banú an lae
Fada, fada go banú an lae
Fada, fada go banú an lae
Fada, fada go banú an lae
Long, long gone are the days
Gone are the ways, now of my life
Fada, fada go banú an lae
Fada, fada go banú an lae
Fada, fada go banú an lae
Fada, fada go banú an lae
Long, long gone are the days
