Celtic "Lullaby"
Abstract - English version |
|
The celtic lullaby is shown as
a multiple dimensioned kind of folk-art, which is not only preparing a
well-bred kind of living and behaviour, loyalty and spiritual- mythical
background to the child. It proves also as giving a social and psychological
impulse to parents, relatives and complete social enviroment. Mainly we
are dealing with the so-called „Fairie Lullaby“, a cradle song, which is
related to be taught by a fairy to a human being.

.......... | There are many fairy traditions
in celtic countries, especially Ireland and Scotland. Concerning
literature and suggestions, I´m very indepted to our friend Daniel
Bryant of Clan Campbell.
Rendering English verses to German language in all ways, with sense, rhyme and sound, is very difficult. Just because our languages are very related, a real exact translation is impossible, for English language is more prolific in creating short, mostly one syllabled words and rhymes. This maybe the reason, why in German
literature there are existing only a few good adaptions from english poetry.
By this reason, I prefer giving a similar rhythm and sound instead of pure literal translation. I beg you to have patience with this simple first attempts. |
