White Fangs

I think I saw them not so long ago,
Hunting me down, crawling shadows,
You'll think I’m getting mad, but I swear I'm sane,
I can see them, white fangs
They're waiting for me to fall down in their claws,
As I'm hanging on like a modern life fruit,
Suddenly the stem breaks, I am ripe,
Maw wide open, white fangs
Staring at the window, swinging with the barley sway
I’m thinking of you, how deep I’ll hurt you
Please don’t worry, Manannan is watching over me
Could you, oh darling, forgive me ?
My wasted body falls to the earth,
Shooting star with grim promises,
Once on the ground, the black pack throws itself on me,
Crushing my bones, white fangs
Staring at the window, swinging with the barley sway
I’m thinking of you, how deep I’ll hurt you
Could you, oh darling, forgive me ?
Could you, oh darling, forgive me ?

Wolfy & Foxy

I'm a lonely wolf, but not the big bad one,
When I'm coming near everyone flees.
She’s the lovely Fox, young and cuny thing,
She's the prettiest fur of the valley.
Mad in love with her, I've tried to seduce her,
So I went blindly ahead.
She's not an easy Fox, and I do show off,
All I got was a bite in return.
In this starry night, all the woodland furs,
Dance, dance, dance, all around !
They've got nothing to fear as love is in the air,
Roll’, roll’, roll’in’ in the hay !
I'm a goofy wolf, but a lovely one,
So she gave me a second chance.
We went hunting hens, but as a goofy wolf,
All she got from me was my fleas.
To get rid of them, foxy and I,
Took a dip in the lake.
We played in the water, and went further,
We resisted no temptation.
In this starry night, all the woodland furs,
Dance, dance, dance, all around !
They've got nothing to fear as love is in the air,
Roll’, roll’, roll’in’ in the hay !
On a sunny day, we saw a cherry tree,
The fruits looked juicy and sweet.
So I climb up the tree, to please mylady,
But I fell down right on foxy.
Too dazed to say no, I grabbed the chance,
I asked her to marry me.
She’s not an easy fox, but I'm a lovely wolf,
She surrendered to my love.
In this starry night, all the woodland furs,
Dance, dance, dance, all around !
They've got nothing to fear as love is in the air,
Roll’, roll’, roll’in’ in the hay !
On a rainy day, I woke up arlone,
Where the hell she might be ?
I run down the valley, searching desperately,
I stambled from the top of the cliff.
I landed in the rapids, almost drowned in,
I finally went back to the cave.
She was fine and safe, with puppies all around,
What a fulfilled wolf I am !
In this starry night, all the woodland furs,
Dance, dance, dance, all around !
They've got nothing to fear as love is in the air,
Roll’, roll’, roll’in’ in the hay !
In this starry night, all the woodland furs,
Dance, dance, dance, all around !
They've got nothing to fear as love is in the air,
Roll’, roll’, roll’in’ in the hay !

Call of the Sea
03:38
|

Watching the bay in front of me, I think how hard life used to be
For the fishermen of this land who faced the wild raging sea
Blue dresses and black shawls waiting on the cold sand
And praying for their husbands to return.
Once again, I will walk along the seashore,
To find where the Authie's reaching for the English channel
My thoughts drift with the cool and salty wind
And answer the call of the sea
In the church near the beach, our-lady-of-the sands, open-armed,
Invite the faithful to redemption, on their knees with praying hands
I still remember myself praying for the very last time,
For my dear Mother to return.
Once again, I will walk along the seashore,
To find where the Authie's reaching for the English channel
My thoughts drift with the cool and salty wind
And answer the call of the sea
Pebbles made smooth by the play of the the waves,
Which erase our footsteps, all that brings must fade,
Sea songs and laugh, echoing in/ whisper of/ whispering in the breeze
Oh I'm being lulled by the sea.
Once again, I will walk along the seashore,
To find where the Authie's reaching for the English channel
My thoughts drift with the cool and salty wind
And answer the call of the sea

Granuaile

A gentle girl she was,
Long and lovely hair she had
Called by the sea she was,
As the true draugther of dad
But her dad said nope,
You’ll never got on board
Your long and lovely hair
Will get tangled in the rops
Yo Ho Granuaile !
You choose to shaved your hair !
Yo Ho Granuaile !
We’ll follow you into Hell !
Her rapier became a legend,
Famous in the seven seas
The kraken of the irish islands,
With her black flag, was feared
Then two sons followed,
Their father was the sea,
As brave and greedy as their mother,
Our holds full of gold and rubies.
Yo Ho Granuaile !
With your whole pirate fleet !
Yo Ho Granuaile !
We’ll follow you into Hell !
England felt offended,
By their arrogance and their wealth
And dreadfull sons convicted,
On the gallows, they faced death.
The kraken was enraged,
To London she sailed,
To drown the queen in a vat of whiskey
To convince her to set them free.
Yo Ho Granuaile !
Forever you rule the waves
Yo Ho Granuaile !
We’ll follow you into Hell !
