Pog Aon Oidhche Earraich - Runrig

An saoghal, sia uairean

Obair la ri culTeaglach gabhal dhan a mheasa

Pailteas, slainte, is gaol

An Ruis a tuiteam sios mum chluasan

An Ear Mheadhain am brot cho dorch

Is thusa, uilc is a mhuirt is a shabaid

Na mo bheatha a h-uile oidhche

An greim cho teann s cho araid

Mar ord na mo dhorn

A ghealach bha cho soilleir

S a gheall a leithid dhuinn

Bha sinn mar longan seolaidh

Air cuan buidhe og a chridhe

Mu coinneamh clann an t-saoghil s a theaglaich

Gun ghuth no gaire, Dia, no biadh

Co as an dainig na reultan, thuirt miCo as an dainig grian

Tha sinn cho leointe fo na ghealach seo

Anam craidhte seachad air ifrinn fheinn

Ach tha thusa brosnaichadh nam bliadhnaichean

Le saidhbreas seachad air mo dhith

Cho cheal ri sneachd gach uile gheamhradh

An t-oran gaoil mfhaosaid chiontach fheinn

O luaidh be siod an gradh

A dhfhag mi ceangailte ruit an drasda

Co shaoileadh an rud a dhfhas

Bho phog aon oidhche earraich

Translation:

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.

The world, six hours

Day job with culTeaglach accept the fruit

Abundance, health, and kinship

Russia falls to my ears

Middle East the soup so dark

And you, evil and murder and fighting

In my life every night

The grip is so tight and so weird

As the order of my fists

The moon was so bright

And such a promise to us

We were like sailing ships

On the young yellow ocean of his heart

Opposite the children of the world and his family

No voice or laughter, God, or food

Where the stars came from, said miCo whence the sun came

We are so wounded under this moon

A tormented soul beyond hell itself

But you are the inspiration of the years

With wealth beyond my want

As much as snow every winter

The love song of a guilty self

Oh, that was love

Which left me attached to you right now

Who would have thought the thing would grow

From a kiss one spring night
