Runrig - An Ubhal As Airde Lyrics
Comhla riumA tha thu an drasdMo shuilean duinte, mo chuimhne danNam sheasamh a' coimheadGach cnoc is gach traighIs an siol a dh'fhag thu ann a 'fasTha an garradh lanLe craobhan treunLe meas a' fas dhuinn ann ri bhuainUbhlan abaichMilis geurAch tha aon ubhal nach ruig sinn idir airIs co 'nar measgA mhaireas laSeachad air am is air oidhche fheinA liuthad uairA shreap mi suasAirson an ubhal as airde chur gu beulSeididh gaoth is dearrsaidh grianTro mheas nan craobhan lin gu linAch thig an la is thig an t-amAirson an ubhal as airdeAir a' chraobh a bhuain The Highest Apple At present All you were is with me My eyes closed, my memory confident Standing here watching Each hill and shoreline With the seed you left Still growing The garden is well stocked With mighty trees With fruit growing for the whole world Ripe, sweet And bitter apples And the one apple That is beyond reach Who amongst us Can exist a single day Beyond our own time and our own limits Countless and futile Are times I've climbed To reach and taste The forbidden fruit The winds will blow And the sun will shine From generation to generation Through the trees of the garden But the day and the hour Will surely come To take the highest apple From the knowledge tree
