jack the lad (uk) - fingal the giant كلمات الأغنية

this tale is told of scotland old
magic was vanishing from daily life
mortal men were afeared to meet
fingal the giant and his lady wife
so they walked through low and highlands west
and through the sea to the hebrides
lived in a cave on staffa isle
peacefully for three centuries

on any fine day when the wind is low
fingal walks with his firstborn son
a music strange is across the waves
enchanting the giant and his little one
one rough day from the sheltered cave
there’s a man and a boat they can see in the storm
he’s reached his hand and lifting them in
says “who are you and come where from?”
i’m a monk from iona
and the sound across the water?
that’s the sound of a bell, sir
we would surely love to go there
then let us away

so they waded off through the raging deep
the monk on the shoulders of the giant kind
columba’s there in his priory
said “if thou wilt enter, i must have a sign
how will i know we can trust in you?
for you are immortal and of fearful size”
toll the bell for the creatures wild
and ask of them for they tell no lies

well what say you, birds?
true, they would not hurt us
and what say you, beasts?
they would not desert us
then god will be pleased

all in a trice, the sky went black
and one bright star did blind their eyes
“here is the sign” columba cried
as fingal shrank to a human size
so if with magic, you are blessed
don’t follow fingal but remember well
the church will have no other god
so all beware the enchanting bell
