To the Land Of Shadows once he came | |
Young warrior of Erin | |
With valour, honour and strength | |
Cuchulainn was his name | |
To win the heart of fair Emer | |
The Plain Of Ill-luck he crossed | |
To search for knowledge of war | |
The Perilous Glen he traversed | |
Then guided by Lugh, one fatherly hand | |
His scorched path he followed to the | |
...Isle Of Skye | |
Yonder, the scholars were gathered | |
Among them Ferdiad | |
The Firbolg who was his friend | |
"Welcome, Hound of Culan | |
I hope you'll stay by our side | |
Beyond the Bridge Of Leaps | |
Scáthach's stronghold you'll find on the | |
...Isle Of Skye | |
All by yourself you must stride | |
Not challenge fate with false pride | |
Beware of the bridge to reach the far side | |
All by yourself, be your own guide | |
To make the Salmon leap up high | |
Scáthach, you'll find on the Isle of Skye" | |
Crógacht! | |
Three times over, Cuchulainn tried and failed | |
And at the fourth attempt, he finally prevailed | |

What tragedy upon him | |
Fate would one day bestow... |
