I always loved celtic music because to me its music that comes from the heart.One song captured my heart.I listened to it over and over again ..untill I surfed around to find translation of the lyrics.I was surpries by the story behind the song...and it made me love it even more...
Whenever I listen to it..this image comes to my mind.The translation of the song and its story are on the picture so I suggest full view ^_^
Before any of you say 'Wow great sea!!' no I haven`t drawn it!!Its a texture..+ tons of effects and touches *laughs* Annie is drawn completely digitally and Allen was drawn by hand.
I hope you like it...
and here`s the original text of the song...its really a divine song..
Ailein Duinn
Gura mise tha fo e islean,
Moch 's a' mhadainn is mi 'g e irigh,
O hi shiu bhlainn leat,
Hi ri bho ho ru bhi\,
Hi\ ri bho\ ho\ rionn o ho,
Ailein duinn, o\ hi\ shiu\bhlainn leat.
Ma 's e cluasag dhut a' ghainneamh,
Ma 's e leabaidh dhut an fheamainn,
O\ hi\ shiu\bhlainn leat,
Hi\ ri bho\ ho\ ru bhi\,
Hi\ ri bho\ ho\ rionn o ho,
Ailein duinn, o\ hi\ shiu\bhlainn leat.
Ma 's e 'n t-iasg do choinnlean geala,
Ma 's e na ro\in do luchd-faire,
O\ hi\ shiu\bhlainn leat,
Hi\ ri bho\ ho\ ru bhi\,
Hi\ ri bho\ ho\ rionn o ho,
Ailein duinn, o\ hi\ shiu\bhlainn leat.
hm must be the font i used..sorry ^_^;; here it is
How sorrowful I am
When I rise early in the morning,
O hi I would walk with you.
Hi ri bho.... o ho,
Brown-haired Alan, O hi, I would walk with you
If the sand be your pillow,
If the seaweed be your bed,
O hi I would walk with you
Hi ri bho.... o ho,
Brown-haired Alan, O hi, I would walk with you
If the fish are your candles bright,
If the seals are your watchmen,
O hi I would walk with you
Hi ri bho.... o ho,
Brown-haired Alan, O hi, I would walk with you
I would take a drink, though everyone would be scandalised,
Of your heart's blood after you were drowned.
O hi I would walk with you
Hi ri bho.... o ho,
Brown-haired Alan, O hi, I would walk with you

If anyone sees the good and joy in life, it's me. I even see a certain degree of joy in sadness, because there's a certain kind of beauty in sadness. What makes us cry shows us what's really important to us. I never regret a single tear. -Dinko Jun
*laughs* This is just one version of its translation.The song is into gaelic and i doubt anyone can give accurate translation.This one i showed ya is the most popular one
