Traditional Celtic song from Scotland recorded with celtic harp, flute and vocals. It talks about a fairy who is in love with a mortal. She complains for being always alone and bored, pulling bracken on the hill. I selected some verses and mixed the lyrics in Gaelic with the English translation.
lyrics
Tha mi sgìth's mi leam fhìn,
Buain na rainich, buain na rainich
Tha mi sgìth's mi leam fhìn,
Buain na rainich daonnan
Why should I sit and sigh,
Pullin' bracken, Pullin' bracken.
Why should I sit and sigh,
On the hillside dreary?
Cùl an tomain, braigh an tomain,
Cùl an tomain, bhòidhich,
Cùl an tomain, braigh an tomain,
'H-uile là a'm' onar
Oh, but there is something wanting.
Oh, but I am weary.
Come by blythe and bonny laddie,
o’er the moor to cheer me.
Tha mi sgìth 's mi leam fhìn,
Buain na rainich, buain na rainich
Tha mi sgìth 's mi leam fhìn,
Buain na rainich daonnan
Why should I sit and sigh,
Pullin' bracken, Pullin' bracken.
Why should I sit and sigh,
All alone and dreary.

Whilst the majority of us will remember 2020 for its ordeals; I have stood upon Ex Libris for the first time and I cannot stop listening to this incredible band.
Chapter 2 is also my favorite of them all.
It gave me the vibes to research what happened 103 years ago in Russia.
And now, with knowledge of those dark times for the Romanov, each listen brings something that makes me want to learn even more about them.
Quite frankly, this is by far the best symphonic music I've heard this year. QuarkStorm
