DESCRIPTION:
Orthodox Celts is a Serbian band which plays Irish folk music combined with rock elements. Their music led to a popularisation of Irish and Celtic music and other aspects of Irish and Celtic culture in Serbia. Despite their unusual sound the band is currently one of the top acts of the Serbian rock scene and has influenced several younger bands, most notably Tir na n'Og and Irish Stew of Sindidun.

The band started their career with traditional Irish songs and, gradually, introduced more and more of their own material (lyrics mostly written by band's frontman Aleksandar Petrović, music mostly written by band's violinist Ana Đokić). All their songs are in English, but the group has composed some purely instrumental songs as well. The band traditionally celebrates St. Patrick's Day with a large concert in Belgrade.

Red owen made camp by the glen of two lakes
They all new his daughter was the fairest in the land
She had come of age it was time to choose a husband
A fine and noble warrior worthy of her hand

And the kings rode down from their great high mountains
And chieftains marched in from around the countryside
Princes even sailed from far across the water
To fight for the right to make Eimer their bride

Chorus:
Eimer was fair as the wild flowers of morning
Eimer could sing like a lark in the warmth of May
Eimer could dance light as windblow gossamer
Put a sword in her hand though and shed lay men in the clay

Conall MacMurta was poor but a bold one
He was proud as a stallion and skilled in the art of war
When Eimer saw him defeat the other champions
She knew that he was chosen one for her

Sighing the kings all road to their mountains
Weeping the chieftains marched back to the countryside
Brokenhearted the princes sailed across the water
When Conall son of Murta made Eimer his bride
