[Intro] [The sound of a distant wind over the hills. A slow, lonely tin whistle melody begins. Very faint, low mechanical hum in the background] [Verse 1] Cad a chì thu Mo luaidh What do you see My wee one Reultan geala os do chionn Bright stars hanging over Dùn beag clach is boglach fliuch Little stone hill Wet brown moor Croí an t-slèibhe gad chumhdach [Chorus] [Vocal layers become rich and choral] Éalaíonn mo chroí Mo chroí My heart It drifts as you’re sleeping Cadal sìtheil Cadal sìth Peaceful sleep Soft and deep now Éalaíonn mo chroí Mo phàiste My heart flies out to guard you Suaimhneas ort gu bràth Gu bràth [Verse 2] Eala gheal air loch nan tonn White swan on the loch’s small waves Seinnidh i ort Òran ciùin She sings you a low song Gaoth nan cnoc a’ lìonadh an taighe Hill-wind breathing through the eaves Blàth an fhèàr fo chasan caorach [Bridge] [Strings swell slightly, emotional and protective] Fàsaidh thu Ach fuirichidh seo You will grow But this stays An guth bog a’ seinn air do shon The soft voice Singing for you Nuair a dhùisas tu fad às When you wake in some far place Cluinn mo chainnt anns an oidhch’ Hear my words in the dark Love [Outro] [Music fades to just the low engine hum and a single, sustained whistle note] Gu bràth... Forever...
