Runrig · Everything You See [2007]
'S mi gun uallach bhon a' ghreun
Linn ùr a' tighinn gu bi
'Mach a fàsach lom is tioram
Sona 'dràsd tha mi
'S mi gun uallach bhon a' ghreun
Linn ùr a' tighinn gu bi
'Mach a fàsach lom is tioram
Taobh cùl an dorais cha robh grian
Cha robh biadh is cha robh fìon
Tha là an t-saoradh neist air tighinn
Mar tuil, mar eun air sgiath
Cùm a mach do shùil is èist
Tha tobar shàibhreas aig an fhèis
Ar clann an-diugh, le guth an-dè
Gasgaich òg, le mire, le spiès
Tha i àlainn, tha i òrach
Tha i làdir, tha i bòidheach
Sona 'dràsd tha mi
'S mi gun uallach bhon a' ghreun
Linn ùr a' tighinn gu bi
'Mach a fàsach lom is tioram
