Hello everyone! Anyone know the meaning of the Irish term "Uisce Beatha"? Googling it comes up with "Whiskey", but that does not seem to fit the song where I see it used. This song from Riverdance, Cloudsong sung by Anúna runs through my mind when I consider my ancestors. It's like I'm asking them in one verse and they reply in the next. Kinda haunting! Here are the lyrics, Uisce Beatha is at the end of the 2d verse: Hear my cry, In my hungering search for you, Taste my breath on the wind, See the sky as it mirrors my colours, Hints and whispers begin. I am living to nourish you, cherish you, I am pulsing the blood in your veins, Feel the magic and power of surrender, To life. Uisce Beatha Every finger is touching and searching, Until your secrets come out, In the dance, as it endlessly circles, I linger close to your mouth.
