The Band From Rockall - Nighean Òg Nan Suilean Ciùin lyrics
Thòisich là' mar là' sam bith eile Dh' èirich grian le cuid dòchais is blàiths Ach mu chrioch na h-oidhche cò shaoileadh Gun do chaochail mo shaoghal gu bràth Dhùisg na solais an talla a bhaile Chaidh an ceòl a-mach tarsainn a' chuain 'S ann an sin a chiad chunnaic mi a' ghruagach Nighean òg nan sùilean ciùin Bha soillse anns an aite san robh i seasamh Aingeal cho àlainn is grinn Le falt dorch a' tighinn tarsainn a guailinn Òigh cho bòidheach sa chunnaic mi riamh Dh' fhalbh mo chùram mar shaighead Is m' anam mar chlach-iùil bhuam 'S gu grad bhiodh sinn dannsa ri chèile Nighean òg nan sùilean ciùin Nighean òg nan sùilean ciùin Nighean òg nan sùilean ciùin Gu grad bhiodh sinn dannsa ri cheile Nighean òg nan sùilean ciùin Tha na bliadhnaichean air dhol seachad 'S iomadh grian a dh' eirich bhon là' Tha cho drùite 's cho glaiste nam chuimhne Cho buan ri cearcal, ri fàinne, Ach chan eil àm nas beannaichte air talamh Seach nuair tha gaol abaich is ùr Ach dh'fhàs an gaol sin nas doimhne Nighean ùg nan sùilean ciùin Nighean òg nan sùilean ciùin Dh'fhàs an gaol sin nas doimhne Nighean òg nan sùilean ciùin Lìon i mo bheatha le stòras 'S gach là is gach oidhche le sùnnd Nuair a bhios briathran gaoil air do bhilean Tha t' anam faisg air an àrd-shlighe bhuan Ach fhad 's bhios rionnag san adhar air fhàgail 'S mi le anail bith mi moladh do cliù Gruagach òg mo dhàn 's mo luach The day began just like any other The sun rose in warmth and expectation But by the end of the evening who would have thought That my life would be forever changed The lights came on in the village hall The music drifted across the water And it was there I first saw The young girl with the gentle eyes A light shone on the spot where she stood An angel, beautiful and fine Dark hair falling across her shoulders As beautiful a girl as I had ever seen My being flew off like an arrow And my soul reacted like a magnet And before long we were dancing together Young girl with the gentle eyes Young girl with the gentle eyes Young girl with the gentle eyes Before long we were dancing together Young girl with the gentle eyes Now the years have pa**ed away Many suns have risen since that day Thatās so entrenched and locked in my memory As everlasting as a ring, as a circle There is no more blessed time on earth Than when love is first ripe and new But that love has grown deeper Young girl with the gentle eyes Young girl with the gentle eyes Young girl with the gentle eyes That love has grown deeper Young girl with the gentle eyes She filled up my life with treasures Each day and night with joy When the words of love are on your lips You are getting close to the higher eternal ways But as long as there is a star left in the skies And as long as I have breath, I will sing your praises Young girl, my desire and my worth
