Delirium Dean Sàor An Spiórad
Credits : Donald Shaw
Appears On : Delirium
Language : English & Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic)

Lyrics : English Translation :
Day by day the haze of city lingers
Burning these hills of stolen liberty
O tir, tir mo rùn Oh land, land of my love
O tir, tir mo chridhe Oh land, land of my heart
Maybe one day we'll find a young pretender
Kindle the fire of Gaeldoni's legacy
O tir, tir mo rùn Oh land, land of my love
O tir, tir mo chridhe Oh land, land of my heart
Turning a blind eye to the values of home
Running the fast lane to belong
Maybe we'll see light when the jewels
Of the crown, they are gone
Chorus :
Dean sàor, dean sàor an spiórad Make free, free the spirit
Is seinn d'orain beo And sing your living songs
Dean sàor, dean sàor an spiórad Make free, free the spirit
Is seinn d'orain beo And sing your living songs
The Cuiaba to Nova Scotia Indians
Carving their dream of pride and dignity
O tir, tir nan òir Oh land, land of gold
O tir, tir na'dhaoine Oh land, land of the people
Turning a blind eye to the values of home
Running the fast lane to belong
Maybe we'll see light when the jewels
Of the crown, they are gone
(Chorus)
Tog do shuil dh'an iarmailt Lift your eyes to the sky
Machair dubh nan stoir A dark field of jewels
Faigh reull do'shliagha Find the star of your destiny
Lean i gu dan And dare to follow it
(Chorus...)
