Tá ceann buí óir ar an dúlaman – "Channel wrack has a golden yellow head"

"Dúlamán" (Irish for "channel wrack", a type of edible seaweed) is an Irish folk song.

The lyrics of the song relate to the Irish practice of gathering seaweed, which has been done for various purposes, including as fertilizer, bathing, and food.[1]

The song title was used in 2016 as the name for an Irish music and dance show called Dúlamán - Voice of the Celts [de], which competed in the finals of the German talent show Das Supertalent in 2017.[2]

The song was used both on its own and as a motif of the 2014 Irish animated film "Song of the Sea".
