about

This was the very first track recorded for my very first Cal Records CD.

lyrics

In Her Mother Tongue

As I look upon the clouds as they cover up the sun
I watch the shadow creep across the hill-side
I see a royal stag standing proud and strong
I think of days gone by and of battles lost and won
I begin to fantasize that the northern wind has brought me home
to watch the rumbling waters rolling down the falls

In the heart of where I belong
In the heart of where I belong


To hear her name being sung strikes the heart of everyone
so in her mother tongue sing proud and strong
Alba, Alba, Alba, Alba


Touched by days of hope and glory no looking back, we will go on
from a harsh and barren wilderness to a nation standing strong
my eyes, they fill with pride my heart, it beats so strong
when I hear her name being sung
so in her mother tongue sing proud and strong Alba, Alba, Alba, Alba,


I’ve traveled round the globe in the air o’re land and sea
But no-matter where I sleep tonight
there’s just one home for me Alba, Alba,

Alba, Romanticize and fantasize Alba
Alba, In valleys green, in mountains high, Alba
