lyrics

O, cradle row, cradle go,
aye hush, me bairn witin;
far’ll come wi’ dose o’ gowl
tae pay t’ nuiris fee,
he’ll pit ae gowl chain roon dy neck
and tak du oan t’ sea,
far, far away frae me
oot doon t’ gey caal sea.

O, cradle row, cradle go;
me lillie finman witin,
I ken o’ me woeful fate,
t’ wickman I may find een day,
ae hunter guid he’ll seem tae be,
but sure he’ll brak me heart in tree
wen t’ first ae shot e'er he shuits
will kill baith dy faether and du.

about

Lichočar Czechia

We are ladies of midday and mistresses of woods. A witch folk band, wailing and creaking stories about a certain shadow from the heart of Europe, somewhere called the wickman, somewhere Lichočar.
