Can anyone interpret what Saiorse sings right after the second "Mo ghrá?" It sounds either like "Tá gro" or "Tá ro."


What time on the clip does the line come up?


At about 3:52

Tá grá ('there is love') is what I hear. But it is an incomplete sentence in Irish. It should be something like Tá grá ann.

I keep hearing gró for some reason. Is gró even an actual irish word?

Its the Connacht and Ulster pronunciation of gnó 'business'; n becomes r, when in second position, in dialects outside Munster:

mná = mrá
cnoc = croc ; but crochanna(í)
cnó = cró ; but crónna(í)

There's a lot of poetic license in the song to begin with, and the poor articulation of the singer in this version makes it harder. The version used in the movie is easier to understand, but the wording is still odd.
