I tried the opening lyrics of "Mo ghile mear". Rejected.

    'Se mo laoch should be acceptable surely? (if only for the great 18th-century song by Seán Clarach)

      Why isn't it "is mo laoch é"? Why are there 2 é's?

        Because you must have a subordinate before a definite phrase in the copula.

          I always had the trouble with the copulas. :(
