Lyrics


+ This Is Not A Love Song
I could tell you about the moon
That's rolling 'cross the sky
I could show you all the stars
But it's much too late at night
I'm driving home on the silver run
The last to move on through
And this is not a love song
No matter what I do
Words are few but the heart is true
And the world keeps turning round
For me and you

If I could only make you see
One reason to believe
I would open up my heart
It's so easy to deceive
Footsteps fall through open doors
Across a darkened room
And this is not a love song
This is no moon in June
Words are few but the heart is true
And the world keeps turning round
For me and you

You know for you I'd give my life
In you I will be strong
We went off looking for the light
But it was right here all along
Now we wait here passing nightimes
Until every morning comes
And this is not a love song
This is no easy tune
Words are few but the heart is true
And it all keeps coming round
For me and you

And this is not a love song

+ Oran (Song)
Anail mo bheatha, anail mo bhith
(Anail mo bheatha)
A' gairm nam anam is a' togail mo chridhe
(A' togail mo chridhe)

'S mi nam sheasamh ma d' choinneamh gun fhiamh gun mhiann
(Nam sheasamh ma d' choinneamh)
Thig uallach na madainn nuair a dh'eireas a 'ghrian
(Nuair a dh'eireas a 'ghrian)

[Oran, naomha, buan
Tog gu ard guth an t-sluaigh
Oran, tha mi reidh
Eirich, eirich bhar an t-sleibh]

Tha an salm mar lasair, a' boillsgeadh gach aite
(Tha an salm mar lasair)
Dh'fhosgail mo bhilean nuair thoisich an la
(Nuair thoisich an la)

[Refrain]

Seinn, seinn, seinn
Oran ur, oran an uir

traduction

Breath of my life, breath of my existence
(Breath of my life)
Proclaiming in my soul, uplifting my heart
(Uplifting my heart)

I am standing before you without fear or desire
(I am standing before you)
The concerns of the morning will come when the sun rises
(When the sun rises)

[Song, sacred, eternal
Lift on high the voice of the people
Song, I am reconciled
Let it rise up from the moorlands]

The psalm is like a flame, illuminating all around
(The psalm is like a flame)
My lips opened when the day began
(When the day began)

[Refrain]

Sing, Sing, Sing
A new song, the song of the dust

+ This Is Not A Love Song (remix)
I could tell you about the moon
That's rolling 'cross the sky
I could show you all the stars
But it's much too late at night
I'm driving home on the silver run
The last to move on through
And this is not a love song
No matter what I do
Words are few but the heart is true
And the world keeps turning round
For me and you

If I could only make you see
One reason to believe
I would open up my heart
It's so easy to deceive
Footsteps fall through open doors
Across a darkened room
And this is not a love song
This is no moon in June
Words are few but the heart is true
And the world keeps turning round
For me and you

You know for you I'd give my life
In you I will be strong
We went off looking for the light
But it was right here all along
Now we wait here passing nightimes
Until every morning comes
And this is not a love song
This is no easy tune
Words are few but the heart is true
And it all keeps coming round
For me and you

And this is not a love song
