Etain, our Etain ever our Etain She it is who healed the judges eye She it is that was a thousand years a fly She became the wine divine On account of her the king shall chase the birds On account of her his horses will be drowned On account of her full many a war shall be On account of her two worlds will go to war It is she we sing of in our land It is she who strives to win the king It is she we sing of in our land It is she who strives to win the king Etain, our Etain ever our Etain Etain, our Etain ever our Etain

I'll build you a home precious stone by precious stone You can see the sky and the stars at night I'll build you home bound by charms of solid light Brilliance in the heart of every gem A thousand jewels of power Shine on you protect you warm you in your house of light This will keep you safe, safe from harm This will keep you warm by the kisses of the sun This will give you shelter, shelter from the storm Hold you in my arms so you can close your eyes A thousand jewels of power Make you mine, protect you, all mine own, close to me, near to me All mine own, all mine own, all mine own.

Wilt thou come with me Etain Etain Etain to the wondrous land I sing of Their hair is like the crown of a primrose there and their bodies soft and sooth as smooth as swans feathers There is neither mine nor thine White are the teeth dark the brow A delight of the eye is the number of our host Every cheek bares the hue of a foxglove A gilly flower is each one's neck Wilt thou come with me Etain Etain Etain to the wondrous land I sing of A delight to the eye a blackbirds egg Warm sweet Streams flow Youth departs not before old age We see everyone on every side and no one seeth us Oh woman if thou come to my proud folk A crown of gold shall adorn thy immortal head Honey wine and fresh milk you shall have with me there Wilt thou come with me Etain Etain etain to the wondrous land I sing of

This is a series of pieces taken from the music of a show collaborating with performance storyteller Ben Haggarty. It tells the story of two gods whose passionate pursuit of love spans a thousand years, multiple and monstrous re-incarnations and the transformation of the world by the arrival of humankind.Unbridled and archaic fantasy base on irish texts found in a convent in Cheltenham
