An Cat Dubh by U2 Songfacts. An Cat Dubh is Gaelic for The Black Cat. English is the common language in Ireland, but schoolchildren are also required to learn Gaelic. Bono failed it in high school. Bono: It's definitely about sex.. This is segued together with Into The Heart on Boy.
General CommentThis is one of my favorite U2 songs if not my favorite. I spent a great deal of my teenage years relating to An Cat Dubh in a strange way. The lyrics can easily take on many meanings but this is what I gather from what I've read and what I assume. I've heard that Bono had had a brief fling with a woman during a short-lived split from Ali in high school.
