Chan eil an t-adhar os cionn Lunnainn |
|
A-nochd soileir no dorch |
|
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh |
|
Gun sgial air coinneal mor latha |
|
No reultan na h-oidhche |
|
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh |
|
An sea s'am baile gun chadal |
|
Gun fhois is gun saorsa |
|
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh |
|
Casan a' gluasad |
|
An abhainn an tuil |
|
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh |
|
Na cuibhlichean, 's cabhaig |
|
A' tionndaidh gun sgur |
|
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh |
|
Cus ag adhradh beairtas |
|
Air altair an tshaoghail |
|
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh |
|
Cach gun dochas gun dachaidh |
|
Air sraidean gun ghaol |
|
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh |
|
Leis gach dath s'gach creideamh |
|
Gach cainnt as gach cearn |
|
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh |
|
Gach ceist is gach freagairt |
|
sios an abhainn gu cuan |
|
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh (x6) |

The skies above London |
|
Are neither clear nor dark |
|
The need to be far from the crowded river |
|
Neither the great candle of daylight |
|
Nor the stars of the night can be seen |
|
The need to be far from the crowded river |
|
In this city that never sleeps |
|
there is stillness, no quiet |
|
The need to be far from the crowded river |
|
Footsteps keep moving |
|
The river in full flood |
|
The need to be far from the crowded river |
|
The relentless wheels |
|
Keep turning without pause |
|
The need to be far from the crowded river |
|
Many worshipping wealth |
|
At the world's altar |
|
The need to be far from the crowded river |
|
Others without hope or home |
|
On streets that hold no love |
|
The need to be far from the crowded river |
|
Races creeds and tongues |
|
From all corners of the globe |
|
The need to be far from the crowded river |
|
All questions and answer |
|
Rushing down the river to the ocean |
|
The need to be far from the crowded river (x6) |
