    Lyrics:
    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.
    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.
    Lon-dubh sgèith, lon-dubh sgèith,
    Steach dhan t-sòlas dubh na h-oidhche.
    (Blackbird fly, blackbird, fly, fly.....
    into the light, dark black 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.

    Saw her live just about a month ago. Amazing performance. Like, literally melt-your-face-off good. After, she was just hanging out up front chatting with fans as if it was nothing. People like her inspire me to try harder and accomplish more with my life.

      Prove it. Upload a video of your emotions as you recall that beautiful moment. I want to see tears and drooling with hand wiping without tissue. Just inefficient hand use

    it is the first song I heard Julie sing several years ago and I have loved her since. We watched the programme on BBC Alba last night, May 14, and it was excellent and such a range of styles from musicians known to us and some I did not know like Rodrigo and Gabriela in Mexico. This is a very talented lady and her Scots Gaelic just reminds me of the strong bonds that link Ireland with Scotland. Maith thú, Julie!

    Wow. Julie is truly incredible. I learned the song as a guitar solo a few years back, and have always thought it was one of the most touching songs I'd heard. Hearing it in Gaelic takes it a hundred times further into my weeping heart. @pduffy 1943, thank you for putting up a version of Gaelic. I am going to try to learn it. I don't know Gaelic, shame on me, but I can copy it if I can hear and see the phrases at the same time. Terrible accent, but Utahms wont know! wow.

    One of the largest Gaelic speaking communities on the planet is in Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island and the language is Scots Gaelic. It isn't always the availability of others who speak the language for those who want to learn it, the key to culture is always language.

    Few covers of this song can approach the near-perfection of Macca's original, but this is right up there. Wonderful reinterpretation, and though the "like" numbers currently suggest that there are 5 sourpusses out there, they are justly and vastly way outnumbered by the approbation.
