Runrig sings "An Ubhal as airde " THE HIGHEST APPLE

THIS IS THE POWERFUL CHORUS repeated in pslamic fashion.

Seididh gaoth is dearrsaidh grian (THE WIND WILL BLOW AND THE SUN SHINE
Tro mheas nan craobhan lin gu lin (THROUGH GENERATION TO GENERATION THROUGH THE TREEES OF THE GARDEN
Ach thig an la is thig an t-am BUT THE DAY AND THE HOUR WILL SURELY COME
Airson an ubhal as airde TO TAKE THE HIGHEST APPLE
Air a' chraobh a bhuain FROM THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE

"AN UBHAL AS AIRDE"

Words and music by: Calum MacDonald


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

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
