Kristina was taught this haunting Gaelic lullaby by Mairi MacInnes, a singer full of wisdom and stories from the Hebridean island of South Uist. It is sung from the perspective of a dead mother singing to her children, who are being abused by their cruel stepmother. Comforting and devastating in equal measure.
lyrics
A nighean nan geug
/O hao ri u/
Tha muigh leis an spridh
/O hao ri ohan, o hao ri u/
Na gabh eagal mo fiamh
Tha mis' an-seo sian
A nighean nan geug
Mo thruaidhe mo chlann
Bean eile nan ceann
Gam bualadh gu teann
Gam biadhadh gu gann
'S an athair 's a' ghleann
A nighean nan geug
TRANSLATION
Oh rarest of maidens
/O hao ri u/
Who is out tending the cattle
/O hao ri ohan, o hao ri u/
Do not be afraid
I am here to protect you
Oh rarest of maidens
My poor wee ones
Another woman looks after them
She beats them sorely
She feeds them poorly
When their father is away in the glen
Oh rarest of maidens

I've seen you a few times since we discovered you in Ely for your 'tea room tour' and I honestly feel that this album is a triumph, innovative and engaging. I think you're setting yourselves up for a hard task to follow this. an absolutely spellbinding album; thank you. tom sims

A beautiful set of tunes, that takes Kathyn back to her more instrumental albums, under the KT and KTB name.
Whats nice is that musicians on the older albums (such as Julian Sutton) as well as musicians from more recent bands (such as Amy Thatcher), have both been used to great effect on this album. djsummers
