I expect you're thinking of the phrase amadan-na-briona? But I'm sure that
amadan is a homonym, or very nearly one. One amadan means "song" and the
other means "fool". Besides which, if you listen to the words the lovely
Irish lady sings (can't remember her name) it goes "amadan...ceol", with
ceol meaning 'music' in Gaelic.
