The song seems to be a translation into Scots Gaelic of the Beatles' song BLACKBIRD. (BLACKBIRD was officially credited to Lennon/McCartney but was written by Paul McCartney, and performed as a solo by McCartney on the Beatles' "white album.") |

[blackbird singing in the darkness of the night, that your boken wing and rise up/ all your life you were waiing for the time to get away /make a run] Lon-dubh a' seinn ann an dubhar na h-oidhche, tog an sgàil bho d' shùil is seall gu geur fad do rè, bha thu a' feitheamh airson an tioc a bhios tu saor. [blackbird singing in the darkness of the night, take the shade from your eye and look sharply/ all your lifetime you were waiting to be free] Lon-dubh sgèith, lon-dubh sgèith, Steach dhan t-sòlas dubh na h-oidhche. [Blackbird fly, blackbird, fly, fly..... into the black light of the night] Lon-dubh a' seinn ann an dubhar na h-oidhche tog do sgiathan brist' is èirigh suas fad do rè, bha thu a' feitheamh airson an tìd' gu togail rithe. |
