Alba Lyrics - Party On The Moor: 40th Anniversary Concert Live - Runrig

Air sgiath a' seoladh nan neoil 

'S an domhain liath 

Mar dhealbh a' tighinn beo tro na sgothan 

'S mi a' tilleadh gu tir 

Alba nam beanntan ard 

Nan acraichean lom 

Thairis air na lochan mointich 

Nan coilltean 's nan gleann 

Ach 'se sealladh leointe is gann 

Tha an seo aig ceann thall an linn 

Talamh alainn nan daoine 

Fhathast an lamhan duine no dithis 

Cuibhlean stolda mu dheas 

Na fasaichean a tuath 

An taigh-mor falamh an Dun-Eideann 

Gun chumhachd gun ghuth 

*Sibhse chuir achadh ri achadh 

Taigh ri taigh 

Gus nach bi ait anns an tir 

An gabh sibh comhnaidh air leth 

Ach 's math dhomh bhith seo an drasd 

A cur failt air a' bhlas 

'San tir a tha cho ur dhomh an diugh 

Is a bha i nuair bha mi 'nam phaisd 

*Bho Isaiah 5-8 

Scotland 

This flight is sailing through the c 

louds 

And the blue heavens 

The homeland appears like a developing photograph 

Through the mists as I return to land 

I see Scotland of the high mountains 

And the empty acres 

Flying low across the moorland lochs 

The forests and the glens 

But it's 

a wounding and a hollow sight 

Here as we reach the end of the century 

The beautiful soil of the people 

Still in the hands of the few 

I see the wheels of industry at a standstill 

And the northern lands wasted 

And the empty house in Edinburgh 

Withou 

t authority or voice 

You that have laid field upon field 

House upon house 

Till there be nowhere for you to be placed alone 

In the midst of all the earth 

But it is good for me to be here now 

As I welcome the warmth 

In this land that's as exciting 

for me today 

As it was the day I was born
