// MORE CAEL STUFF: intro post / expansion 1 / expansion 2 (you are here)
Cael's music taste is heavily influenced by his Irish roots.
Being of the Fae, he has many songs that have been passed down through the Cait Sith, and the Cait Sith alone, not to be shared with outsiders. However, on occasion you may hear a soft humming coming from the treetops, carrying an aged tune on the breeze. If you're really lucky, it may be accompanied by the strumming of a small harp, or the windy notes of a recorder.
As such, he's got a penchant for more traditional or folk sounding Celtic/Irish music.
His clan was isolated from human society, and he has been newly exposed to most music in the past few decades after being exiled. His favorite is, unsurprisingly, Celtic Thunder.
You can hear his overall music tastes here.
Below, I'll list some songs I've come up with that are traditional and unique to his clan. I apologize if the Irish is incorrect. It probably is. Horribly so. If you know Irish/Gaeilge please help me.
Mo Solas
Thar an cheo clúdaithe oileáin
Tá todhchaí ag fanacht liom
Ag fanacht liom
Féadfar cibé duine a ag fanacht leis
Beidh tú in speisialta a dom
Speisialta a dom
O, teacht chugam
Mo solas a threorú
Mo ghrá i measc na réaltaí
Nochtann an cosán
Ionas gur féidir liom fheiceáil
Ag taisteal liom do thaobh
Ag taisteal liom do thaobh
Translation:
My Light
Over the mist covered mountains
The future is waiting for me
Waiting for me
Whoever may be waiting
You will be special to me
Special to me
O, come to me
My guiding light
My love among the stars
Reveal the path
So that I can see
As I travel to your side
As I travel to your side
This was an old song, meant to be sung by warriors going off to battle and who may soon be departing to the next life. It is so their souls can stay focused and not get lost on the way.
Mo Leanbh
Mo leanbh, ná caoin
Tirim do dheora
Breathnú suas
Is é an spéir chomh geal
Tá sé dallta
Mo leanbh, ná a bheith scanraithe
Shealbhú mo lámh
A shealbhú ar daingean
Is é an t-achar i eadrainn
Chomh beag
Beidh mé a bheith i gcónaí in éineacht leat
Le do thoil nach bíodh eagla ort
Mo leanbh, ná caoin
Ná caoin
Translation:
My Child
My child, do not cry
Dry your tears
Look up
The sky is so bright
It is blinding
My child, don't be scared
Take my hand
Hold it tight
The distance in between us
Is so small
I will always be with you
Please don't be afraid
My child, do not cry
Do not cry
This is meant to be a lullaby for young Cait Sith.
