Chi mi bhuam, fada bhuam Chi mi bhuam ri muir-làn Chi mi Muile nam beann fuar Fada bhuam thar an t-sàil Fada bhuam thar an t-sàil
Chi mi mullach nam beann mór Anns an òg-mhadainn aigh An t-aon as airde dhiubh nan còrr 'S badan ceò air a bàrr Fada bhuam thar an t-sàil
Chì mi ghucag air an fhraoch Chì mi'n caorann fo bhlàth Chì mi uisge glan nam beann Tigh'nn 'na dheann leis gach màm Fada bhuam thar an t-sàil
Tir a' bharraich, tìr nan stuadh 'S tric a luaidh ort na bàird 'S nuair a thug mi riut mo chùl Rinn mi dùsgadh gu dàn 'S bidh mi luaidh ort gu bràth
Chi mi bhuam, fada bhuam Chi mi bhuam ri muir-làn Chi mi Muile nam beann fuar Fada bhuam thar an t-sàil Fada bhuam thar an t-sàil ---------------------------------------------- I see from me, far from me I see from me to high-tide I see Mull of the cold mountains Far from me across the seas Far from me across the seas
I see the tops of the big mountains In the brave dawn The height of each one of them is excessive And a cloud of mist on top Far from me across the seas
I see a bud upon the heather I see the rowan tree in bloom I see clear water of the mountains Coming in haste with each mound Far from me across the seas
Land of the treetops, land of the waves 'Tis often its wool on you, the bard I awoke boldly And I will love you forever
I see from me, far from me I see from me to high-tide I see Mull of the cold mountains Far from me across the seas Far from me across the seas
* Lyrically it is another song in praise of a beautiful place (in this case the Isle of Mull) and melodically I feel the simplicity is so beautiful and reminds me of village ceilidhs growing up in Taynuilt - I think Donald's piano on this track is sublime - we did it in one take and just connected!
