The Song Of The Sea
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A sea maid sings on yonder reef
The spell-bound seals draw near
A lilt that lures beyond belief
Mortals enchanted hear
Chorus (after each verse):
Coir an oir an oir an eer o
Coir an oir an oir an eer o
Coir an oir an oir an ee lalyuran
Coir an oir an eer o
The wandering plowman halts his plow
The maid her milking stays
Sheep on hillside, bird on bough
Pause and listen in amaze
Was it a dream? Were all asleep?
Or did she cease her lay?
The seals with a splash dive into the deep
The world goes on, yet lingers the refrain
