Lon-dubh (blackbird) lyrics
by Julie Fowlis
Lon-dubh a' seinn ann an dubhar na h-oidhche
Tog do sgiathan brist' is èirigh suas
Fad do rè, bha thu a' feitheamh airson an tìd' gu togail rithe
Lon-dubh a' seinn ann an dubhar na h-oidhche
Tog an sgàil bho d' shùil is seall gu geur
Fad do rè, bha thu a' feitheamh airson an tioc a bhios tu saor
Lon-dubh sgèith, lon-dubh sgèith
Steach dhan t-sòlas dubh na h-oidhche
(Blackbird fly, blackbird, fly, fly...
Into the light, dark black night...)
Lon-dubh a' seinn ann an dubhar na h-oidhche
Tog do sgiathan brist' is èirigh suas
Fad do rè, bha thu a' feitheamh airson an tìd' gu togail rithe
