lyrics

Tak' ma hand an' shake it fur the last time
Wan mair kiss goodbye then across the sea fur me
Am oan ma way oan a journey o' a lifetime
A lifetime nae longer free tae me

This leakin' ship keeps rollin' oan forever
Another ay ma clan, sittin' next tae me
Speakin' in the language o' oor faithers
He says "Are you an exile like me?"

Ah left ma land, ma home, ma dreams forever
Forever in exile ah will be
Left ma land, ma home, ma dreams forever
Forever in exile ah will be

Who will tell the tales o' oor country
Alba's story must be carried oan
Who will sing aloud of her glories
Oor children will sing her ancient songs

Left ma land, ma home, ma dreams forever
Forever in exile ah will be
Left ma land, ma home, ma dreams forever
Forever in exile ah will be
Alba, Alba, Alba, forever in exile ah will be

Tribal Heart (Rebirth Edition)
by Clann An Drumma

supported by 7 fans who also own “The Exile”

I discovered Clann an Drumma as a suggestion while streaming. And I was hooked from the very first song. Their music has a strong power with melody. The drums are perfect and powerful. And the bagpipes are very melodic. And everything plays perfectly together. bagpipefan
