Sláinte from Edda with Love
Irish folk metal anthem with a driving 6/8 rhythm, crowd-chant refrains, and wild pub energy. Raspy, warm female vocals with a rich Irish accent – powerful, heartfelt, a little rough around the edges. Celtic instruments, singalong da-da lines, call & response, and bursts of shouted Gaelic. Rowdy, intimate, and made for dancing on tables.

Lyrics
Intro – Spoken, Pub-Lärm
Raise your glass, don’t stand alone –
Tonight, my clan, we howl as one!
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Verse 1 – Herkunft / Edda „An Lasair“ („die Flamme“)
From wild cliffs where Éire calls,
Red hair blazing through the squalls.
Fire in veins, wind in my song,
Dancing with wolves, where I belong.
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da,
Hey, hey, sláinte mhaith!
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da,
To the land of fire I still call mine!
Verse 2 – Marla „An Bhláth“ („die Blüte“)
Marla, an Bhláth, art on skin,
Smiles like rain, lets warmth begin.
Soft as dusk, eyes deep and bright,
She turns my darkness into light.
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da,
Sweetheart, you make me sing,
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da,
Sláinte to my blossom, hope in spring!
Verse 3 – Maik „An Sciath“ („der Schild“)
Maik, an Sciath, my wall and stone,
Strong as oak, never alone.
Hands of calm, eyes full of trust,
He guards my wild, because he must.
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da,
Hey, hey, clann mo chroí!
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da,
Sláinte to the shield that stands by me!
Verse 4 – Grimm „Mo Faireoir Dubh“ („Mein schwarzer Wächter“)
Grimm, mo Faireoir Dubh, shadow and friend,
Silent as midnight, true to the end.
Amber eyes, calm in the storm,
My black guardian, always warm.
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da,
Howl and woof, we cheer!
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da,
Sláinte to the hound we hold so dear!
Verse 5 – Alle / Family
Now the flame, the bloom, the shield, the hound,
In laughter and chaos, together we’re found.
Raise your pints, let voices blend,
By firelight, sing till the night will end.
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da,
Hey, hey, hey, sláinte chroí!
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da,
To this wild family, strong and free!
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da,
Raise your glass up to the sky,
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da,
Sláinte, my friends, 'til the day we die!
