Song of the Sea Page #3

---

Hooray!

Hooray!

Yoo-hoo!

Huh?

Now, before the selkie sings

her song to send us home,

we should entertain her with

a few of our own tunes.

So, lads, your choice. Who'll get

us started. SPUD: Here, Lug?

I'll sing.

No, Spud, we want

to keep the mood up

before the main event.

Isn't that right, selkie?

I'll do my best, I promise.

Give Mossy a go first,

will you? Yoo!

The selkie song is bright

To waken all who follow

Manannan will lead

and Tir Na Nog will follow

Do-la-mon, a-pena pwee

Do-la-mon, manuela

Do-la-mon, a-paricka

Par-a-fee a-nerin

Lovely job, Mossy!

Do you hear the lad's tune?

You-how.!

Right, who's next?

Here, Lug, here. I'll sing.

Oh. Go on, so.

Tell us your name, selkie.

So we can sing

of your adventure.

Her name's Saoirse.

Saoirse! Yoo!

Saoirse the selkie

will sing and save the day

The clay that she who rescued

her will cheer and celebrate

Oh, do-la-mon, a-pena

pwee Do-la-mon, manuela

Do-la-mon...

Wait! I've forgotten

the last verse.

How did I manage that?

Long, long we

prayed to hear the selkie song

And now we pray again that

her song will never end

Ha-ha! Yoo!

That's it! Which

one of you had it?

Never mind.

Keep the crack going, lads.

Do-la-mon,

a-pena pwee Do-la-mon, manuela

Do-la mon la faricka

faralee a-nerin

Now, lads, what you've

all been waiting for.

Time for the selkie to

sing her lovely song.

You'll be free soon, lads!

The selkie song

will send us all home.

Wait, wait, will you?

Come on, now, selkie, sing it.

Does she know the words?

Give her a chance, give

her a chance, will you?

Her coat.

I almost forgot.

Aren't I some eejit?

How was I expecting the selkie

to sing without her coat?

What's wrong? I don't think

it's the right coat.

Oh, no.

She can't sing.

She can't even talk.

A human child!

You're the one that

gave me the last verse.

Yeah, my mother used to sing it.

She said it was a fairy song.

That'd be right.

So that would make you...

We prefer to call ourselves...

The Other Crowd.

The Good Names.

The Deenashee.

I can't believe it.

The Deenashee.

That's what Mum

called the fairies.

You're actually real,

not just stories.

Human child, do you know

where the selkie's coat is?

Her real coat.

Yes, my father took it.

It's in our lighthouse.

Do you hear that, lads?

We are saved!

Ahh!

Daggers out!

Protect the selkie.

Get away!

Saoirse!

Get back!

No!

- The selkie!

- No!

No!

Hold on!

They're going for the selkie!

Saoirse!

Run!

Run away!

Human child, find the

selkie's true coat,

then she can sing the

song and save us all.

Quickly, human child,

before the owls return.

That pipe will see you
