Púca (Ghost)

Púca I can see you
In the corners of my vision.
I try to ignore you:
You are but an apparition;
A flicker of my mind,
Someone I should leave behind.
Now I need my head to clear
So I beg you: disappear.

There’s a chill in air,
Footstep on the stair.
A scratch on the door
I can take no more
I say now, deirimse: (I say)

Púca, púca, púca, (ghost, ghost, ghost)
Imigh uaim púca, púca, púca. (leave me alone ghost, ghost, ghost)
Lig dom mo shúile a dhúnadh, dúnadh, dúnta, (let me close my eyes, closing, closed)
Imigh uaim púca, (leave me alone ghost)
Nó tóg leat mé a phúca, (or take me with you ghost)
Púca, púca (ghost, ghost)

Nuair a bhímse múchta (when I am silent)
You gallop through my dreams
Riding on a nightmare,
Running through my conscious stream.
Tá mo chroí ag bualadh (my heart is beating)
So I know I am alive;
Then why does it feel
Like my heart has turned to ice?

This taunting haunting,
It keeps me wanting
For the chance to say
I lár na hóiche a dherimse: (In the middle of the night I say)

Púca, púca, púca, (ghost, ghost, ghost)
Imigh uaim púca, púca, púca. (leave me alone ghost, ghost, ghost)
Lig dom mo shúile a dhúnadh, dúnadh, dúnta, (let me close my eyes, closing, closed)
Imigh uaim púca, (leave me alone ghost)
Nó tóg leat mé a phúca, (or take me with you ghost)
Púca, púca (ghost, ghost)

I mo cheannsa, I mo pheannsa, (in my head, in my pen)
I mo theannta ar na tonnta. (beside me on the waves)
Tá mé ar mo ghlúine, gúim ort (I am on my knees, I pray to you}
Déan trócaire orm, scaoil uaim ón ngort. (Take mercy on me, release me from the hurt)
You’re moving in a constant loop
Though me just to keep me shook.
If I surrender to forgiving
Will you take me back to the land of the living?

Púca, púca, púca, (ghost, ghost, ghost)
Imigh uaim púca, púca, púca. (leave me alone ghost, ghost, ghost)
Lig dom mo shúile a dhúnadh, dúnadh, dúnta, (let me close my eyes, closing, closed)
Imigh uaim púca, (leave me alone ghost)
Nó tóg leat mé a phúca, (or take me with you ghost)
Púca, púca (ghost, ghost)

As a retired organist-choirmaster who has been privileged to experience profound artistry in a whole spectrum of genres over many years, I wish I could tell you the sense of wonder and appreciation that fills my spirit at each one of your all-too-rare offerings here -- and also on each time I frequently revisit so many of the exquisite gifts you have shared in the past. Perhaps one of the most apropos analogies I can offer to you with all my heart, is that your musical gifts to my spirit are like the ancient blessings of the youthful David to the aged King Saul when his "soul was troubled." You never cease to give me comfort, inspiration, and profound enchantment -- even and perhaps especially when other music and performances sometimes no longer reach into my heart. Please pardon this lengthy message, but I truly can never thank you enough, or express my most respectful fond wishes for your success in every area of your life!

Still love this song. Have had it in my car playlist since before Christmas. And watching the Norwegian ESC entry, the winning song I thought had some similarities to sections of Puca vocally and musically. Even though the songs are very different. The intro to Lighter, and how Kyle Alessandro sings it, reminds me a little bit of how you sing the intro to Puca, and Kyle Alessandro does something similar a few times before Lighter is finished. I like both songs, but your songs have something enchanting about them i haven't found anywhere else. Not to mention your music videos. They are magical. Everything from the lighting to the choreography, set decor, locations, costumes and not the least the music mix old folklore with the ultra modern in an excellent way. I hope you will make more music and music videos in the future. Thanks a lot for those you have done so far. 😊❤

Do chréite. Listening to this while skiing in Oslo, Norway. Sends CHILLS up my spine while looping around the ice bound trees in Scandinavian half & low winter light. Love singing it to myself in Irish as i zoom! One day it needs to become our song to Eurovision. Béir bua!!🇳🇴🇮🇪

[monicadamon]

Wonderful. The lyrical beauty of this piece is remarkable. I love the way it builds musically and weaves its alluring and enchanting tale. Bravo.

[reuterromain]

Yeah i like that!
THE MORE I LISTEN TO IT THE MORE I LOVE IT!
Well done Fiachra!

[winandbergenhuizen]

I did not know ! It is very beautiful !Congratulations to Fiachra who is probably the composer, the accompanist and the perfect interpréter !!!🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️

That's a Euro hit. Hopefully Germany cottons on to this. They love Irish culture/music etc. The main Aer Lingus Airbus to Munich is called the Saint Killian. Killian is also a very popular name there, especially in Bavaria.

This song resonated how I currently feel right now. There is a ghost or a voice inside my mind that makes it hard for me to sleep. This voice is causing depression and anxiety disorders.

I needed to keep my mind free from worries and your harp music has been a miracle to me for it allowed me to travel to different places inside my mind that I never accessed before.

It allowed me to imagine once again to the point I saw magical worlds and it gave me a great relief of releasing tensions in my chest.

Your music allowed me to listen to my innermost voices and my suppressed thoughts. Your music allowed me to believe in myself again.

Your amazing bassy-voice and the whispers really felt like the voices in my head that wanted to be heard for a long time. I felt scared and ironically relieved at the same time.

I send you love and power. Thanks for everything

Go raibh mile maith agat.

[robertnairn]

I remember my granny calling me a Pu'ca once when I was being cheeky but never knew what it meant until I looked it up a few years ago. Irish folk law I believe.

[simonharrisson]

Wonderful stuff!! You should go for Eurovision, if RTÈ can afford it! You are stunning, your musical talent is breathtaking, singing voice. [Ahem] enough to make anyone swoon and await your next move!! ❤❤❤
