Language: English & Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic)
   

Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Is my dream impossible asylum?
Has my love nothing to rely on?
Will my world crumble to the ground?
Is it true? Have I lost what I just found?
If a dream were real, would it be so pure?
The sweetest taste, the strongest lure
The incense of the richest spice
Will my dream become my vice?
 
   
Chorus:
Dream into my world, into my breathing
Dream into my life, into my dreaming
 
   
Shadows fall across your face
This carbon world fills up this space
A thousand lights of a million miles
Move your lips into a smile
When the night is cold and air is thin
I feel your breath against my skin
I close my eyes and I know it's real
Is this the way I'll always feel?
 
   
(Chorus)  
   
Hi ri u o mo leannan Hi ri u o my lover
Hi ri u o mo leannan Hi ri u o my lover
Hi ri u o mo leannan Hi ri u o my lover
'S nach trom an t-eallach an gaol Heavy is the burden of love
   
I catch your breath upon the air
I reach to touch, but you're not there
I can hear your voice, I feel you near
But I look, you disappear
A surge of warmth comes over me
I feel the sun on this cold sea
Should I breathe you in, though you're unknown?
Will you let me live or will you let me drown?
 
   
(Chorus 2x)  
   
Hi ri u o mo leannan Hi ri u o my lover
Hi ri u o mo leannan Hi ri u o my lover
Hi ri u o mo leannan Hi ri u o my lover
'S nach trom an t-eallach an gaol Heavy is the burden of love
