Still grass grows tall in the dream fields
But after all is said and done
The only thing that ever matters
Is to love and to be loved

Can't bear to leave this path of years
And the joys that it unfolds
Can all this just be ground to dust
Without meaning, resolve, untold?

I crossed the ocean, the son of slaves
A golden race in soul decline
I arrived on the King's Port streets
They were the making times

Hé mandu nam biodh agam
Hé mandu sgiath a ghlaisein
Hé mandu iteag nan eoin
Hi ri oro spòg na lachain
Hé mandu hi ri oro hó ró hù ó

If I had
The sparrow's wing
The birds' power of flight
The wild duck's feet

Tha an lasair nad anam aig meadhan do bhith
Nas làidir 's nas mòtha na riaghaltas no rìgh

The spark in your soul is the centre of your whole existence
And it is bigger and stronger than any government or King

On the arc of ages
On this orb of wonder
Where the light is growing
Where the sun goes under

Tha faileas air an airigh
Tha 'n long a-muigh 'ceann a bhàigh
Air madainn Chèitean tràth

There's a shadow on the sheiling
The ship is waiting
At the head of the bay
Early on a Maymorning

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

'S cha d' fhiach an teine oidhche
Gun do chòmhradh 's do ghàir
Chan fhaic mi thu a rithist

Of what worth the night fire
Without your conversation and laughter
I'll not see you again

Air cùrsa deònach
Tha sinn a' seòladh
Air a' chuan, air a' chuan

On a willing course
We keep sailing
On the open seas

We grew up in the spaces
Where the four winds blow
We left these glens and valleys
Traitors to the plough

The light of ancient shine
On your ordinary lives
We joyed; went to the fires of harvest
So open up the land
Open up the sand
Returning again in Clachan

Tha sinn a' seòladh
Tro thonnan uaine
Air a' chuan, air a' chuan

We are sailing on
Through the green waves
On the open seas

We listened into the Ice Age
And we built up man round the Picts
And the daybreak hammered out warning
To the weak

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

Anns an aineolas
Chaidh ar gàirdeachas air chall
Thoir dhuinn an àireamh nuadh
Na laithean buan

In our ignorance
Our joy has lost direction
Give us the new number
The eternal days

Tog glainne mhòr na slàinte
Thoir an cearcall chun an làr

Lift high the glass of celebration
Take the circle to the dance floor

Bho m' uinneag tràth
Beinn Tianabhaig ag èiridh suas

From my window early
Ben Tianavaig is rising up

Bha snigh air na speuran
'S bha na reultan galach
A hi eile fe o hiri si bho horo hu
Fal eile bho hiri si bho ho fal eile bho

The skies look gloomly
The stars have grown murky

Down the lens where the headlands stand
I feel a healing through this land

There's a watcher waiting
On the edge of the world
With the thoughts that never darken
When the lights go down

Càch gun dòchas gun dachaigh
Air sraidean gun ghaol
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh

Others without hope or home
On streets that hold no love
The need to be far from the crowded river

Cho geal ri sneachd gach uile gheamhradh
An t-òran gaoil m' fhaosaid chiontach fhèin

Whiter than the snows of each winter
The song of love, my confession of guilt

From the little child in arms
To the leaders of the land
There's a need
