An Ubhal as Airde |
| The Cutter And The Clan |
| An Ubhal As Airde |
| Comhla rium |
| A tha thu an drasd |
| Mo shuilean duinte, mo chuimhne dan |
| Nam sheasamh a' coimhead |
| Gach cnoc is gach traigh |
| Is an siol a dh’fhag thu ann a 'fas |
| Tha an garradh lan |
| Le craobhan treun |
| Le meas a' fas dhuinn ann ri bhuain |
| Ubhlan abaich |
| Milis geur |
| Ach tha aon ubhal nach ruig sinn idir air |
| Is co 'nar measg |
| A mhaireas la |
| Seachad air am is air oidhche fhein |
| A liuthad uair |
| A shreap mi suas |
| Airson an ubhal as airde chur gu beul |
| Seididh gaoth is dearrsaidh grian |
| Tro mheas nan craobhan lin gu lin |
| Ach thig an la is thig an t-am |
| Airson an ubhal as airde |
| Air 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 |
