When the Beauty - Runrig

I have seen the morning sun light up your face

Filled with nature’s perfect promise in a day

We walked along the pier road

To the gathering of souls

When the beauty’s in the place

We walk away

There’s an altar lit with candles wet with tears

And blessed among women she will stay

And eternity was breathing

Its sleeping masquerade

When the beauty’s in the place

We walk away

Air sgàth glaodh an airm

Os cionn tuinn na mara

Tha a' ghrian goirt le mulad gu h-àrd

'S fhada bhuainn gaol nam mnathan

'S an òige mhaiseach

Sin an ginealach de ghillean òga a dh’fhalbh

I have seen the morning sun light up your face

Filled with nature’s perfect promise in a day

We walked along the pier road

To the gathering of souls

When the beauty’s in the place

We walk away

There’s an altar lit with candles wet with tears

And blessed among women she will stay

And eternity was breathing

Its sleeping masquerade

When the beauty’s in the place

We walk away

Because of the army's cry

Above the waves of the sea

The sun is shining with sadness above

Far be it from us the love of women

And the beautiful youth

That's the last generation of young lads
