Evening Song is a blend of Scottish language and history, original Celtic music, Einstein’s relativity, a murder mystery, and a tale of eternal love.
Òran Feasgair (Evening Song)
©Gil Waugh 1998
Air mo ghairm tro chrìochan tìm
ann an òran feasgair
Air mo thàladh le pongan m’eòil
gu gràdh sìorraidh
A’cur fi os orm, a ghaoil
le d’ fhonn binn
agus sinn a’ coinneachadh a-rithist
Le rann is rann
de rithim gun sgur
loidhne air loidhne

Summoned through the bounds of time
in an evening song
Beckoned by familiar notes
to everlasting love
You call my love
with your sweet tune
and once more we meet
With endless round
of verséd rhyme
line after line
