Runrig Lyrics Bot

Now civilisation groans and the news reel cries
Like a drowning man
His life in front of his eyes

The wheels that turned us village kids
Still carry through the heaths
They no longer turn for you

Madainn bhlàth
Dealbh beò

Warm morning
Living picture

Across the skies the monuments stand
Shrines of wonder, man worshipping man
Computer ethics mock a dying land

Ach dh'eirich mi suas anns an t-saoghal
Fhuair mi deise, 's fhuair mi leine

And I did rise in the world
I found my suit, I found my shirt

I walk these hills and I sail the seas
I've weathered the storms of history

The air was swaying round the first guitar I remember
We crossed the river by the Ostrum wall 'neath the stars
To where the wedding filled the hall
My father sang a song

Fragments of survival in the driving rain
With the blood and tears that bear your name
On and on the meek the strong

'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

Tha an salm mar lasair
A' boillsgeadh gach àite
Dh' fhosgail mo bhilean
Nuair thòisich an latha

The psalm is like a flame
Illuminating all around
My lips opened
When the day began

Now the years hold no fears, like the wind they pass over
Loved, forgiven, washed, saved

And your radiance shines
Like the moon of all innocent grace
To know that we dared breathe belief
To love again

Nuair a thòisich mi air lorg
Cha do chreid mi mo shùilean
Obair olc
Fichead bliadhn' 's mi aineolach

When I started to search
I didn't believe my eyes
Bad work
Twenty years I am ignorant

All that's constant and wise I still see in your eyes
It was always this way from the start
Right here where I stand on the last of the land
Bur you're still breaking the heart

Cearcal a' chuain
Gu bràth bidh i a' tionndadh
Leam gu machair geal an iar
Far an do thòisich an là

O the ocean's cycle
Forever I'll be turning
To take me back to the pole machair in the west
Where the day has dawned

Tell me where oh where has summer gone?
It hasn't come this year
You always cry when swallows fly
They confirm your darkest fears

I never knew that the light of ages
Breaks the way before us
Sail away. sail away

Cha bhiodh an samhradh cheart cho doirbh
'S tu 'nad shìneadh ri mo thaobh
Cha chaidil mi gun till mi do mo ghràidh

The summer would not be as difficult
With you lying beside me
I will not sleep until I return

Thèid a dh' Eirinn ris a ghealaich
Hillean o ro bha ho
'S a thig às le aon seòl mara
He ho ho ri i ri o
Hogi o hillean o ro bha ho

They'll go to Ireland by the light of the moon
and will come back on the same tide

'S an againn tha neart
Is an againn tha 'n cothrom
Nar cridhe gu bràth
Tha sinn òg
òg

We have the enthusiasm, we have the opportunity
In your attitude forever, stay young, stay young

Ho, ho mo leannan
Ho mo leannan bhoidheach.

My love
My beautiful sweetheart.

Dè math an tobar gun an t-uisge
Dè math an corp gun cridh'

What use is the well without water
What use is the body without the heart

Fo na gealaichean
Air rathad dà mhìle bliadhn'
Thoir dhuinn an àireamh nuadh
Na laithean buan

Below many moons
On a two thousand year old road
Give us the new number
The eternal days

They built the wall of China with a million men
Thought that broken promises would wear you thin

Please believe me
Something in me died
Leaving Strathconon
And your mountains behind

There was laughing, and there were tears
There were so many shattered hopes and dreams
But there was treasure and 40 years
In the place where the rivers run

You can talk the tongue of angels
You can walk the thin white line
Raid your hearts imaginations
Let your thoughts live and run wild

Footsteps fall through open doors
Across a darkened room
And this is not a love song
This is no moon in June

Well we’d better make changes now it seems
Geek to the centre, Weed to the wing
The Rocket’s old and slow and due to retire
Stick him right on the sawdust ready to fire

'S mi an-diugh a' streap beanntan àrd nam bliadhn'
Le gach smàl is sgaradh air an t-saoghal

But now I'm climbing the high mountain of years
With each blemish and schism coming on the world
