Step into the storm with Orla Callan’s haunting Celtic ballad of the Cailleach, the Winter Queen of Irish folklore. Known as the shaper of mountains and bringer of storms, the Cailleach rules the cold with her staff of frost.

This song blends Riverdance-style rhythm with ethereal Enya-inspired harmonies, bringing ancient myth to life through music. Let the bodhrán drums and layered vocals carry you into the timeless lore of Ireland.

🌿 About the Song:
The Cailleach is one of the most powerful figures in Celtic mythology. She brings winter’s bite, carves the land with stone and storm, and stands as the eternal counterbalance to Brigid, the goddess of spring.

✨ If you love Celtic myth, folklore, and music that connects to the old stories, this track is for you.

From the mountain, winds are born,
Snow and ice, the land is worn.
Rivers freeze, the valleys sleep,
Secrets of the hills she keeps.

Hear the drum, let the echoes fly,
Voices rise to the darkened sky.
Winter queen, through the night we stand,
Cailleach shapes both sea and land.

Stone and thunder mark her reign,
Shadows sweep across the plain.
Through the mist her power flows,
In her hand the cold wind blows.

Hear the drum, let the echoes fly,
Voices rise to the darkened sky.
Winter queen, through the night we stand,
Cailleach shapes both sea and land.

Winter queen, oh guide our song,
Drums of earth will keep us strong.

Hear the drum, let the echoes fly,
Voices rise to the darkened sky.
Winter queen, through the night we stand,
Cailleach shapes both sea and land.

Winter queen, oh guide our song,
Drums of earth will keep us strong.

I’m Orla Callan, a singer-songwriter from Dublin with a love for blending ethereal sounds, folk, and world music. Growing up with musician parents, music has always been my compass. I’m inspired by my Irish roots, travels, and the stories I find along the way. My songs are about exploring the world, embracing its beauty, and getting lost in the magic of sound.
