Runrig Thairs Air A Ghleann
(Original in gälisch) Choimhead mi ri m’chul Gun neimh gun truas Larach mo chasan mu sgaoil 'S iad a triall tron an uir Gu toiseach 's gu deireadh uair 'S gu na laithean soilleir buan Thairis Air a ghleann Thainig thu nuas Gu fasach truagh 'S thog thu am faileasbhon a ghleann Buidheachas is naire An tomhas air gach lamh Togaidh sinn do chliu an aird Air slighe Dhia O mollaidh sinn An gaol 's an gras A thug dhuinn bith Cho umhail fo ghrein 'S i dealradh sios Air reultan cein. Übersetzung (englisch) BEYOND THE VALLEY I looked behind me Whithout rancour without pity To where my footprints were scattered On their journey through the dust From the beginning to an end of time And to the bright everlasting days Beyond the valley You came down To a barren wilderness And you raised the shadow From the valley Gratitude and shame The measure in each hand We will proclaim your name in voice On Gods way We will praise The love and the grace That gave us our existance So lowly beneath the sun As it poured out ist light On alien stars.
