Literature Text

In the cold of winter I sing my song
when storms are raging high above the solid grounds,
I raise my voice to reach out for your souls.

Hear my song o' human child,
hear it clear and hear it strong,
riding on the waves of the winter storm.

I come for you when time is right,
I come for you at day and in the darkest night.

My hands so cold but tender they are,
reach out for them - from near ... from far.

I am the winter and I am the cold
I am the old woman - how it was foretold.

So I rule in winter times
when storm is raging and the night shines bright,
I am the Queen, the hag, the Old
I am the Goddess of Winter - like it has been foretold!

In the cold of winter I sing my song
when storms are raging high above the solid grounds,
I raise my voice to reach out for your souls.

Hear my song o' human child,
hear it clear and hear it strong,
riding on the waves of the winter storm.

Foretold by the old ones, the whispers, the dead
spoken by the rider without his head.

I am the whisper in the willow tree,
I am your future ... come and follow me

Find me in your darkest hours,
find me in your strongest hands,
find me soul with no more power... than a drop of water in the sand.

Call my name and say it clear,
call me from heavens, call me from near!

Raise your voice, my human childs
Say it loud and say it clear

Cailleach is here
Cailleach is near


I'll dance around you in my winters gown,
flying, flying high in the air,
I bring you coldness, freedom and remove despair!

I'll sing for you with my softest voice,
sounding like snow falling without a noise

I am the winter and I am the cold
I am the old woman - how it was foretold.

I am the Queen, the hag, the Old
I am the Goddess of Winter - like it has been foretold!

In the cold of winter I sing my song
when storms are raging high above the solid grounds,
I raise my voice to reach out for your souls.

Hear my song o' human child,
hear it clear and hear it strong,
riding on the waves of the winter storm.

Cailleach is here
Cailleach is near


And in the night of nights I sing,
listen to what news I bring:

I bring you light, I bring you love
I bring you future and guidance from above

I am the Cailleach - I am near
be silent now - Yule is here!
