The Band From Rockall - Am Bàrd Deireannach lyrics

'Se pàipear-naidheachd là an-diugh A dh'inns dhomh mu do chuairt Air cuan deireannach a' ghràidh 'f*gail na Caraidh moch Di-Màirt Air an t-slighe tha nas àirde Na drochaid òb Cheann a' Bhàigh 'S tu chuireadh fonn ri gach smuain Earrann ri gach cuan Briathran ri gach cuairt Am bàrd, am maraiche còir Seòladh gu to ghlòir Air a' gheòla oirdhearc le do sheòrs' Seasaidh gach eithear taobh ri taobh Aig acarsaid a tuath Thig mucan mara tron an t-sàile 'S ged thig soillse 's gràs dhuinn fhathast Dh'falbh là a' bhàird Gun nì air talamh ghabhas d-àite Tha grian eile ag èirigh Air baile truagh fuar Tha sinn a' caoidh ginealach nan naoimh 'S a' ghrian a dh'falbh leibh Gu bith ùr Am bàrd, am bàrd deireannach Am bàrd, am bàrd deireannach It was today's newspaper That brought me news of your journey On that last ocean of love Leaving the Caraidh on a Tuesday morning Your route now much higher Than the bridge at the Bayhead inlet You who would put a melody to every thought A verse for each ocean Words for every journey The bard, the kind-hearted mariner Sailing to your glory On the magnificent ship with your people The boats will stand side by side In the north harbour The whales will keep coming through the brine And although light and grace will still surround us The day of the bard is gone And there's not a thing in the world to take your place Another sun is rising On a poor, cold village And we lament the generation of saints And the sun you took with you To a new existence
