Angel
[unknown] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A sea maid sings on yonder reef
The spell bound seals draw near
A lilt that lures beyond belief
Mortals enchanted hear
Coir an oir an oir an oir o
Coir an oir an oir an ee lalyuran
Coir an oir an oir an eer o
The wandering ploughman halts his plough
The maid her milking stays
And sheep on hillside, bird on bough
Pause and listen in amaze
Was it a dream? Were all asleep?
Or did she cease her lay?
For the seals with a splash dive into the deep
And the world goes on again
Yet lingers the refrain
Sung by Jean Redpath

The song "Angel" by [unknown] describes the magical sound of a sea maid's song that enchants the spellbound seals and lures mortals into a trance-like state. The song has a unique structure and progression, with the repetition of the phrase "Coir an oir an oir an oir o" as a powerful and hypnotic refrain. The imagery in the lyrics is dreamlike, with the ploughman and the maid stopping their tasks and the sheep and birds on the hillside pausing in amazement. The song ends with the question of whether it was all just a dream or if the sea maid really did cease her lay, as the seals dive back into the deep and the world goes on but the refrain lingers on.
The lyrics are rich in metaphor and symbolism, evoking the mystery and beauty of the natural world. The song is open to interpretation, but one possible meaning is that it represents the power of music to transcend boundaries and connect people across cultures and generations. The sea maid's song is a universal language that speaks directly to the heart, bypassing the rational mind and touching the soul. The spellbound seals represent the primal, instinctual part of ourselves that is awakened by the music, while the mortals who are enchanted represent the higher, spiritual aspect of ourselves that is uplifted and inspired.
