Dà Mhìle Bliadhna
Runrig · In Search of Angels [1999]
Air rathad dà mhìle bliadhn'
Thoir dhuinn an àireamh nuadh
Na làithean buan
Cò chreideadh na dh'fhairich sinn
'S na chunnaic sinn ri ar linn?
Thoir dhuinn an àireamh nuadh
Na làithean buan
Dh'fhàs am fàsach suas
Far an do chuir sinn sìol ar nàire
Thoir dhuinn an àireamh nuadh
Na làithean buan
Dìleab mòr nan daoine
An t-acras is am pathadh
Thoir dhuinn an àireamh nuadh
Na làithean buan
Anns an aineolas
Chàidh ar gàirdeachas air chall
Thoir dhuinn an àireamh nuadh
Na làithean buan
Dà mhìle bliadhna
Air an rathad leathainn mhall
Thoir dhuinn an àireamh nuadh
Na làithean buan
Tha mi a' dìreadh a' chnuic as àird'
Airson sealladh dhan an talamh
Air cùl a' ghlinne taobh eile thall
Air sràidean baile a-mhaireas
An là nach crìochnaich is nach gluais
Thoir dhuinn an àireamh nuadh
Na làithean buan
Tro na h-àireamhean
Mar fhàradh thèid sinn suas
Thoir dhuinn an àireamh nuadh
Na làithean buan
Anns an dealachadh
Atharraichidh sinn an am priobadh sùil
Thoir dhuinn an àireamh nuadh
Na làithean buan
