From the recording To The Waters And The Wild
The lucht sí (Faery people) welcome Diarmaid and Gráinne into the next world. Enda on Bodhrán hand-style. Sung by the people of Faery over Diarmuid and Grania,
in their bridal sleep under a Cromlech.
Lyrics
WE who are old, old and gay,
O so old!
Thousands of years, thousands of years,
If all were told:
Give to these children, new from the world,
Silence and love;
And the long dew-dropping hours of the night,
And the stars above:
Give to these children, new from the world,
Rest far from men.
Is anything better, anything better?
Tell us it then:
Us who are old, old and gay,
O so old!
Thousands of years, thousands of years,
If all were told.
