Lyrics of The Story - Runrig

The Story (original)

'S fhada, 's fhada, an ceòl a bha cho binn
'S a' ghrian a' dh'èirich air mo chridhe
Guth nan eun gar dùsgadh bho chadal, àillidh, ciùin
Moch is deiseil 'son an t-slighe
And I’m still dreaming of the Hebrides
And I’m still leaning on the early years
And I can’t help feeling it will always be
The story of the life inside of me
Achadh abaich, eòrna 's seagal 'fàs
Loch nan ealachan aig tàmh
B' e siud an dealbh a dh’fhan fad an t-samhraidh sin dhuinn
'S gach uile samhradh eile a dh’fhalbh
And I’m still dreaming of the Hebrides
And I’m still leaning on the early years
And I can’t help feeling it will always be
The story of the life inside of me
'S mi an-diugh a' streap beanntan àrd nam bliadhn'
Le gach smàl is sgaradh air an t-saoghal
Ach thig le cinnt là na h-aiseirigh dhuinn
Mar a thàinig là a chiad-fhairich mi do ghaol
And I’m still dreaming of the Hebrides
And I’m still leaning on the early years
And I can’t help feeling it will always be
The story of the life inside of me
The story, the story, the story
The story, the story, the story

(translation)

For a long, long time, the music was so sweet
As the sun rises on my heart
The voice of the birds awakens us from sleep, beautiful, calm
Early and ready for the journey
And I’m still dreaming of the Hebrides
And I’m still leaning on the early years
And I can’t help feeling it will always be
The story of the life inside of me
Mature fields, growing barley and rye
Swan lake at rest
That was the picture that stayed with us all that summer
Every other summer has passed
And I’m still dreaming of the Hebrides
And I’m still leaning on the early years
And I can’t help feeling it will always be
The story of the life inside of me
Today I'm climbing the high mountains of the years'
With all the flames and divisions in the world
But the day of the resurrection will surely come for us
As the day came I first felt your love
And I’m still dreaming of the Hebrides
And I’m still leaning on the early years
And I can’t help feeling it will always be
The story of the life inside of me
The story, the story, the story
The story, the story, the story
