The Story - Runrig

'S fhada, 's fhada, an ceòl a bha cho binn

'S a' ghrian a' dh'èirich air mo chridhe

Guth nan eun gar dùsgadh bho chadal, àillidh, ciùin

Moch is deiseil 'son an t-slighe

And I’m still dreaming of the Hebrides

And I’m still leaning on the early years

And I can’t help feeling it will always be

The story of the life inside of me

Achadh abaich, eòrna 's seagal 'fàs

Loch nan ealachan aig tàmh

B' e siud an dealbh a dh’fhan fad an t-samhraidh sin dhuinn

'S gach uile samhradh eile a dh’fhalbh

And I’m still dreaming of the Hebrides

And I’m still leaning on the early years

And I can’t help feeling it will always be

The story of the life inside of me

'S mi an-diugh a' streap beanntan àrd nam bliadhn'

Le gach smàl is sgaradh air an t-saoghal

Ach thig le cinnt là na h-aiseirigh dhuinn

Mar a thàinig là a chiad-fhairich mi do ghaol

And I’m still dreaming of the Hebrides

And I’m still leaning on the early years

And I can’t help feeling it will always be

The story of the life inside of me

The story, the story, the story

The story, the story, the story

For a long, long time, the music was so sweet

As the sun rises on my heart

The voice of the birds awakens us from sleep, beautiful, calm

Early and ready for the journey

And I’m still dreaming of the Hebrides

And I’m still leaning on the early years

And I can’t help feeling it will always be

The story of the life inside of me

Mature fields, growing barley and rye

Swan lake at rest

That was the picture that stayed with us all that summer

Every other summer has passed

And I’m still dreaming of the Hebrides

And I’m still leaning on the early years

And I can’t help feeling it will always be

The story of the life inside of me

Today I'm climbing the high mountains of the years'

With all the flames and divisions in the world

But the day of the resurrection will surely come for us

As the day came I first felt your love

And I’m still dreaming of the Hebrides

And I’m still leaning on the early years

And I can’t help feeling it will always be

The story of the life inside of me

The story, the story, the story

The story, the story, the story
