Lyrics
Lon-dubh a’ seinn ann an dubh na h-oidhch’
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Lon-dubh a’ seinn ann an dubh na h-oidhch’
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Lon dubh air a sgiath
Lon dubh air a sgiath
Isteach san sholas dhubh na h-oidhch’
Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Lon-dubh a’ seinn ann an dubh na h-oidhch’
Tog do sgiathan bhrist’ is èirich suas.
Fad do shaoghail,
Bha thu a’ feitheamh airson an tiota togalaidh.
Bha thu a’ feitheamh airson an tiota togalaidh.
Bha thu a’ feitheamh airson an tiota togalaidh.
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
