"Zonnewende" (“Solstice”) marks the longest night, after which the light will return. The lyrics are a druidic solstice ritual translated from Welsh into Irish
lyrics
Onóir dóibh siúd a bhí ina gcónaí os ár gcomhair
(We honour those who lived before us)
Onóir dóibh siúd a leanann sinn
(We honour those who follow)
Feiceann siad casadh an roth
(They all see the turning of the wheel)
An timthriall gan deireadh a nascann linn go léir
(The endless cycle that connects us all)
Deonaigh, a Bhandia, do chosaint
(Grant, O Goddess, your protection)
agus i gcosaint, neart
(and in protection, strength)
Agus i neart, tuiscint
(And in strength, understanding)
Agus i dtuiscint, eolas
(And in understanding, knowledge)
Agus in eolas, fírinne
(And in knowledge, truth)
Agus i bhfírinne, grá
(And in truth, love)
Agus i ngrá, grá na maireachtála uile
(And in love, the love of all existence)
Agus sa ghrá sin, grá an Bhandia agus an cruinne
(And in that love, the love of the Goddess and of all creation)

A new Emian, and yet still the Emian I've loved for so many years. For me, the new approach adds another layer to Emilio and Annas music without taking anything from it. Very recommended! Michael Tholey
