LYRICS Verse 1 When the mist embraced Glencoe, And the moon was hanging low, A lonely tune rode on the breeze, Through ancient oaks and whispering trees. Every soul was fast asleep, Every promise buried deep. Only one young maiden knew The piper's song was calling through. Pre-Chorus They said, "Don't chase the sound..." "Don't cross the glen..." "The pipes belong..." "To ghosts of men..." Still she smiled, And followed on, Where mountains sang Before the dawn. Chorus (Scottish Gaelic) Thig còmhla rium, mo ghaol, Tro bheanntan àrd is ceò. Cluinn mo phìob fad na h-oidhche, Gu cridhe Ghleann Comhann. Thig còmhla rium, mo ghaol, Na leig leam falbh nam aonar. Fo reultan nan seann làithean, Bidh ar gràdh beò gu bràth. (Come with me, my love / Through the mountains and the mist / Hear my pipes through the night / To the heart of Glencoe / Don't let me walk alone / Beneath the ancient stars / Our love will live forever.) Verse 2 At the river made of glass, There he stood among the grass. Silver pipes beneath his hand, Like a prince from fairy land. Eyes as blue as Highland skies, Gentle voice and quiet eyes. Every evening they would roam, Until the hills became their home. Bridge Then one dawn the music died, Morning swept the glen so wide. She searched the valleys, every stone, Yet walked the hills alone. The eldest woman softly sighed, "Each hundred years..." "He comes once more..." "To play for hearts..." "That truly love..." "Then fades beyond the moor." Final Chorus Thig còmhla rium, mo ghaol... (repeat with full orchestra) Choir Outro Now when evening fills the glen, Some still hear those pipes again. If your heart is pure and true... Perhaps... He's playing... Just for you. #Scotland #ScottishMusic #Glencoe #Highlands #Gaelic #CelticMusic #FolkMusic #EpicMusic #LoveStory #Bagpipes #ScottishLegends
