Celtic Charm 3

Children of Lir Captivated by her charm My mind is often there Ireland has a hold of me As she is well aware I long to dream beneath her stars Or dwell in marbled halls In a castle guarded by Four sparkling Emerald walls Liquid jade would fill my moat And Swans would sing to me Songs they learned from mortal days As children who were free Before Aoife's magic spell Cast from her jealous heart Turned these children into Swans To break their love apart Nine hundred years, they've been denied Their childhood innocence And I know an ancient spell To cast in their defense Children of Lir, the time has come For you to laugh and play So what this evil spell hath done This verse shall take away Na laetha geal m'oige Bhi siad lan de dhochas An bealach mo a bhi romhan ansin Bhi se i ndan dom go mbeadh me slan No longer will your wings take flight Or feathers keep you warm For one by one I'd say to you: "Arise in mortal form"
