Name: Seothín Seó (Shoheen Sho)
Duration: P00H02M42S
Description: I first heard this on Siobhán Armstrong’s excellent CD, Cláirseach na hÉireann (The Harp of Ireland). It is first sung by Bríd ní MhaoilChiaráin, an award-winning sean nos singer from Connemara, and then Siobhán’s harp comes in and plays a bit with it. I love their arrangement, but I wanted to also make my own since I had different ideas.

lyrics

Seóthín seó, seó ló. Seóthín seó, ‘is tú mo leanbh.
Seóthín seó, seó ló. La la ló, ‘is tú mo leanbh.

Translation:
Seóthín seó, seó ló – These don’t translate directly to English. They are common in Irish lullabies and children’s songs, intended to soothe the listener (and singer).
‘is tú mo leanbh = and you are my child

Caera Seattle, Washington

From haunting Celtic lullabies, through laments of intense grief and pain, to songs of healing and hope, Caera’s music always contains an authenticity that can be hard to find in today’s music, or even in today’s world in general. Powerful soprano vocals blend with the bell-like tones of her brass-strung Gaelic harp to create music that carries people through life, dreaming or fully awake. ... more
