There’s bluebells growing under the trees And I will be there in June I will walk back down the river To some unknown salvation

Guth nan eun gar dùsgadh bho chadal, àillidh, ciùin Moch is deiseil 'son an t-slighe The voice of the birds Awakening us from the sleep of peace Early and prepared for the journey

Dh' fhàs am fàsach suas Far an do chuir sinn sìol ar nàire Thoir dhuinn an àireamh nuadh Na laithean buan The wilderness has grown Where we have sown the seeds of our shame Give us the new number The eternal days

Tha mi falainn, tha mi òg Ach lag 's mi bàthadh gun do phòg Cha chaidil mi gun till mi do mo ghràidh I am healthy, I am young But weakened and drowning without your kiss I will not sleep until I return

Dà mhìle bliadhna Air an rathad leathainn mhall Thoir dhuinn an àireamh nuadh Na laithean buan Two thousand years On the slow broad way Give us the new number The eternal days

With the eyes of a child The wonder of it all I used to search the stars at night And I felt so safe and small

Nuair a thuiteas oidhche orm 'S e 'n t-àm as miosa a th' ann When night falls It is the worst time of all

She was fragrance all her days And she blew in on a wing We raised a flower from the dust That she'll scatter on a wind

Chì mi 'n t-iasgair a' cur nan lìon ann Is gum b' e mo mhiann bhith 'sa chiar 'gan tarruing Chì mi 'n tìr 'san robh mi 'nam bhalach I see the fisherman at the net And I'd love to be there in the gloaming, fishing I see the land where I was a boy

Hold my soul Let it carry me

Deep the faith and pure the light That shines inside and guides your people Oh I do believe Dust will turn the seed home

You had no choice Didn't ask the dice to fall for you Still your courage comes Like thunder through the skies

Mo rìbhinn òg Mo rìbhinn donn Gun siubhlainn leat gu cùl na grèine Is gu crioch là Young girl Brown haired girl I would walk with you to the back of the sun And to the ends of time

Nuair a bha sinn òg is saor Thòisich sinn a seinn 's a Ghàidhlig When were young and of independent spirit We started singing in Gaelic language

Hear the call of the wind Feel the dying answer Steel on the mind Cold in the veins

Tell me how This life won't let you go Tell me how This same old fool Keeps coming back to you

We'll meet on the edges Memories, no regrets Now the minstrel boy is calling

Oh the need to keep control The need to bare your soul At the edge of the world

You had no choice Didn't ask the dice to fall for you Still your courage comes Like thunder through the skies

Through the forest Sea of mountain pine Surrender everything

Ho, ho mo leannan Ho mo leannan bhoidheach. My love My beautiful sweetheart.

I caught a fleeting glimpse of life And though the water's black as night

Bha thu daonnan na mo smuaint Tro laithean ìseal is bristeadh-cridhe You were always in my thoughts Through the low days and the heartbreak

So it's blood on blood Our bond, our word Tha feur ur air bar an tallamh, bar an tallamh, horribh o There's a new grass growing on the top of the soil

Teas an fheasgair air mo dhruim Is Sgurr a' Mhadadh Ruadh 'nam choinneamh The afternoon heat falling on my back And the Hill of The Red Fox in front of me

Ach tha mi 'n dùil, tha mi 'n dùil Nuair a bhios a' ghrian dol fodha Chì iad mi a' stiùireadh 'n iar Null a dh' Uibhist air a' chearcal I intend, I do intend When the sun is sinking down To be seen steering a westerly course On the ocean's cycle to Uist

And it's up by the Shin And up by the Naver And the long winding shores Of Loch Maree

Counting your blessings at the village hall To the dancing, to the dancing A lot of loving and a lot of soul Turning again

There's a town in Nova Scotia They say the windows touch the sky But across the brine the shipyards close 'Cause in this garden flowers die

But it's not easy So open up your eyes and scan the years Before the ice cap melts away The hardest heart to tears

Eilean, mairidh do linn An talamh m' oige Island, your generation will last Landscape of youth

Fichead bliadhn' de bhreugan Thug iad eachdraidh air falbh bhuainn Twenty years of deceit They denied me knowledge of myself

Footprints around the world Your beauty in the blue Stepping down the Glory Road

She tossed around the sun went down And she fought her way to the shore The fever of this sea believes The boys are coming home

We'll take Billy for the whisky Willie for the door We'll take Mary Kate and Lizzy For the dancing round the floor

Immeasurable, invisible The moment golden before me I will walk with you through the beautiful gate My hands and heart wide open So wonderful, too wonderful

'S ioma là bha a' ghrian ag èirigh oirnn Seasamh anns an eòrna nuair a bha sinn òg Many are the days that the sun rose on us Standing in the barley when we were young

It’s coming clear as day Like comets blazing trails Through the shadows and the veils All along the valley

'S iomadh là, 's iomadh là, chaidh sinn suas ga h-iarraidh Thall aig an sabhal, an sabhal aig Nèill Le crap spaid is puchaid iarainn Many's a day we went up to search for it Over by the barn, Neil's barn With a broken spade and an iron bucket

The old rock leaves us with fossil From the ancient pagan rites From the universal inroads Back to Christ

Tiugainn gu na beanntan àrd Abair sealladh, dathan earraich ann Tiugainn leam a rìbhinn òg Tiugainn leam a nighean, tiugainn leam Come with me to the high hills What a sight, the colours of autumn Come with me my young love Come with me girl, come with me

Unwind: touch the brine Take some bread: break some wine I can see the water line Red below the Lewis sun

'Cause young man now you nurse the gun You're nervous in the morning 'Neath shattered skies your body lies On the dark side of reason

Mo chasan trom 's iad 'g iarraidh dhachaidh 'S m' inntinn dol mu 'n cuairt My feet are tired, longing for home My mind is wandering

Thuirt i 'am bheil fhios agaibh fhèin, an t-sochair 'tha agaibh Tha eallach eachraidh air mo ghualainn cho trom' She said 'Are you aware of the privilege you enjoy The burden of history lies heavy on my shoulders'

Gu tòiseach 's gu deireadh uair 'S gu na laithean soilleir buan Thairis air a' ghleann From the beginning to an end of time And to the bright everlasting days Beyond the valley

Between the shifting shadows In the no-man's zone There's a bar at the end of the street

Book of golden stories Days of open roads Now the autumn leaves are falling

'S iomadh là, 's iomadh là, bhitheas e air 'n inntinn Thall aig an sabhal, an sabhal aig Nèill An sgeul a mhaireas ri gu sìorraidh Many's a day it will be on their minds Over by the barn, Neil's barn The story that will go on forever

You are the outer nothing You are the inner core You are the memory of everything that's gone before Ùrlar a-staigh - crùnludh a-mach A big wheel and a million moons Obliterate the dark (Ùrlar a-staigh - The Floor - In Crùnluath a-mach - The Fast Crown - Out)
