"The Song of the Water Kelpie (Song of the Water Kelpie)" is a waltz passed down in Dalby Village on the Isle of Man. It is also known as Arrane Ghelby (Song of Dalby).
"The Kelpie" is a water spirit that appears in Scottish and Manx mythology. It often takes the form of a horse and lures people into the water. It's that thing from Dungeon Meshi that tried to drag Senshi in.
On the shores of Dalby, there is a legend that the voices of sea fairies could be heard on summer evenings.
The Isle of Man is an island floating in the Irish Sea where Celtic and Norse cultures intersect, and it belongs to neither England nor Ireland (it's a Crown Dependency of the UK), having nurtured its own unique history and culture.
While Manx music often features lively dance tunes, this waltz is unusually gentle in its melody.
