about
Two pieces inspired by the swirling musical sounds of the coastal region of Brittany, resolving in a Springtime song which I sing to my own young children. Cúcúín imagines a conversation between a mother cuckoo and her chicks. In the Celtic tradition, cuckoos were considered to have the ability to travel between worlds….
lyrics
Irish Language Song - Traditional
Cúcúín, a chuachín! Cuckoo, Little Cuckoo!
Cúcúín, a chuachín!
Cá ndéanaim an Samhradh?
Cúcúín, a chuachín!
Déanaim ins’ an ghleann é.
Cúcúín, a chuachín!
Cé gheobhaidh ‘nar dteannt ann?
Cúcúín, a chuachín!
Beidh an dreoilín ’s a chlann ann.
Cúcúín, a chuachín!
An baol dúinn an seabhac ann?
Cúcúín, a chuachín!
Éalóimid faoi chrann uaidh.
Cúcúín, a chuachín!
Cad a bheidh ann dúinn?
Cúcúín, a chuachín!
Beidh mil agus leamhnacht.
Translation:
Cuckoo, little cuckoo!
Where will we nest this Summer?
Cuckoo, little cuckoo!
We’ll nest in the glen.
Cuckoo, little cuckoo!
Who’ll be in our company?
Cuckoo, little cuckoo!
The wren and his family will be there.
Cuckoo, little cuckoo!
Is the dangerous hawk there?
Cuckoo, little cuckoo!
We’ll hide from him under a tree.
Cuckoo, little cuckoo!
What will be there for us?
Cuckoo, little cuckoo!
New milk and honey will be there for us.

Love the complexity of this track and the rising and falling of the violins, and the texture. Makes me want to dance.
Thank you so much for this album. I really love it, and find it really inspiring my own work on the Witchcraft Trials ❤️ tararosehip
