| Horslips The Tain Charolais , The March The Brown Bull of Cooley, the semi-mythical beast of the Tain certainly wasn't the gentle Charolais, but the tongue-in-cheek lyrics are in keeping with the Tain's eccentric narrative style. We've used a traditional melody Rosc Catha na Mumhan which means the Battle Hymn of Munster. This also forms the basis for the March. Her words were sharp; they cut him deep, In a war between the sheets. But when he brought his bull to her It meant a woman making war Beyond the eiderdown. The druids read the smoke and sand; Told her that she would love again. The rhythms from the wolfskin drums Called men to war in hide and bronze. This goddess wore a crown. Charolais, charolais - we are come for you today. The champions and the Seven Sons are come to take away the Donn But the Fairy Child knew more; Saw the host stained red in war, Saw the hero-light around the head Of a dragon-boy just ripe for bed Of wives and manly sons. |
