[00:00.00]The Children Of Lir -Cruachan
[00:39.921]In a time of myth and magic
[00:41.620]Lived a man of timeless power
[00:43.679]Lir was his name
[00:45.274]But his temper had turned sour
[00:46.942]He would not be king of the
[00:48.415]Bov Dearg was chosen instead
[00:50.229]Lir would pay no tribute to him
[00:51.913]And secretly wished he was dead
[00:53.508]Alas with time Lir's wife did lie
[00:55.244]And he was full of great sadness
[00:56.940]Dearg heard this and sent word to Lir
[00:58.628]To meet with him in his palace
[01:00.237]When they met they both embraced
[01:01.885]Their friendship was made then
[01:03.497]Dearg summoned his daughter eve
[01:05.119]And told Lir he must marry again
[01:07.406]Lir's love for Eve was as strong
[01:11.502]As with his first wife
[01:13.981]A seed was planted
[01:17.347]Fionnula and Aedh were born
[01:20.556]But her next child birth would take away her life
[01:27.457]Fiachra and Conn
[01:30.393]From their mothers stomach were torn
[01:46.490]Lir's sadness knew no bounds
[01:47.970]He cried out to the night
[01:49.714]Dearg was there to comfort him
[01:51.394]And help him see the light
[01:53.86]He had 4beautiful children
[01:54.435]And with time another bride
[01:56.353]Eve's sister Aoife would stay
[01:58.44]Loyal to his side
[01:59.676]But Aiofe had a jealous side
[02:01.309]A canker in her mind
[02:02.928]She moved against the children
[02:04.317]Love for them she could not find
[02:06.219]She took them in her chariot to a lake not far away
[02:09.419]And changed them into swans like night time into day
[02:26.152]300years on Derravaragh
[02:27.939]So commenced the spell
[02:29.371]The children would swim to the shore
[02:31.43]Their story to tell
[02:32.728]300years on the sea of Moyle
[02:34.592]A cruel and bitter place
[02:36.10]The children missed their father here
[02:37.848]The smile upon his face
[03:18.891]In the sea of Moyle the waves did crash
[03:20.897]And beat the land with might
[03:22.457]The rain fell fierce and the wind blew hard
[03:24.337]The swans all feared for their lives
[03:25.833]Fionnula was strong and wisest of all
[03:27.593]And guarded her brothers from strife
[03:29.157]Under her wings they hid from night
[03:30.820]And waited for the morning light
[03:32.498]Finally the day did come
[03:34.177]To leave this terrible sea
[03:35.709]300more years to live as swans
[03:37.333]Then they at last would be free
[03:39.81]To Inish Gluaire the swans did fly
[03:40.769]As fast as they could go
[03:42.331]New lands and kingdoms everywhere
[03:44.50]Fionnula did see down below
[03:46.773]There they waited
[03:49.452]Till at last the day did dawn
[03:52.978]The spell was ending
[03:56.230]They felt themselves transform
[03:59.653]They were now ancient
[04:02.911]Their youth was gone forever
[04:06.260]And as they died
[04:09.406]They held hands and went together
