Exploring the beauty of all things Scottish.

259 playsIt’s that sinking feeling of being alone
And it’s the way it makes you screech
And pulls the skin off your bones.
And I can’t help but think as I pick my mouth off the floor;
Will you still know me in a year? -
When in the springtime of the year
When the trees are crowned with leaves
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
Are dressed in ribbons fair
When owls call the breathless moon
In the blue veil of the night
The shadows of the trees appear
Amidst the lantern light
We’ve been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay
Who will go down to those shady groves
And summon the shadows there
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
In the springtime of the year
The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
That when the fiddler plays
All their voices can be heard
Long past their woodland days
And so they linked their hands and danced
Round in circles and in rows
And so the journey of the night descends
When all the shades are gone
“A garland gay we bring you here
And at your door we stand
It is a sprout well budded out
The work of Our Lord’s hand” -

Taobh cùil an doruis cha bhi grian
Suidh aig bòrd
Cha bhi biadh ‘s cha bhi fìon
Le èiginn ar n-èirigh às ar suain
Le èiginn ar n-èirigh às ar suain
An Gaidheal ‘sa leabaidh
An Gaidheal ‘na shuain
Le èiginn ar n-èirigh às ar suainThàinig e à Sasainn ann
Thàinig e
Le eachaibh luath is iuchair throm
Le èiginn ar n-èirigh às ar suain
Le èiginn ar n-èirigh às ar suain
An Gaidheal ‘sa leabaidh
An Gaidheal ‘na shuain
Le èiginn ar n-èirigh às ar suain(via fuckayescottishmusic)
