Canaid Lia Fáil
Einar Selvik Lyrics

The verses of Einar Selvik's song "Canaid Lia Fáil" describe various mythical and symbolic elements that connect the singer to the land of Ireland. The lyrics begin by listing five paths that bind the listener, including four winds that bless them and three skulls that kiss them. The next verse features the singer's heart as a "stone heart" from the island of Inis Fáil, which contains hidden secrets and an understanding of all desires and needs. The final verse is a call to action, with the singer singing "I sing a song of Inis Fáil" and promising to break their silence if the desire for true Ireland is genuine. They then describe themselves as being brought to the hill of Tara by those who desire the protection of Ireland, and vow to direct the song of Inis Fáil.

The overall theme of the song revolves around a mythical and symbolic connection that is shared between the singer and the island of Ireland. The various elements mentioned in the song, including the path, winds, skulls, and heart, are all steeped in Irish mythology and history, and connect the listener to the land in a deep and profound way. The song's call to action is an exhortation to all who claim to love Ireland to step up and protect it, and to use the power of the song to guide them. The song is a beautiful and powerful testament to the deep and abiding love that people can feel for a place, and the ways in which art and music can be used to express that love.
