In the song Finnegan’s Wake there is an Irish phrase likes appears to sound like t’ainm an deal. Does anyone know what they are actually saying and what does it mean?
And for yet another interpretation, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnegan’s_Wake, in which it is claimed that: “The last part of the song where Tim Finnegan says, “Thanum an dhul” (“D’ainm an diabhal”), means “In the name of the devil”, and comes from the Irish.”

in the name of the devil = in ainm an diabhail, not d’ainm an diabhail
