about

Seo òran binn a tha aithnichte ann an Alba is Èirinn agus a bha ri chluinntinn na bu thrice san linn seo chaidh. Tha na h-ìomhaighean agus na faireachdainnean san òran seo a’ còrdadh gu mòr rinn.

Brian first heard this sweet song being sung by his aunts Mona and Kathleen during family get-togethers.

lyrics

I have seen the lark soar high at morn
Heard his song up in the blue
I have heard the blackbird pipe his note
The thrush and the linnet too
But there’s none of them can sing so sweet
My singing bird as you

If I could lure my singing bird
From his own cosy nest
If I could catch my singing bird
I would warm him on my breast
For there’s none of them can sing so sweet
My singing bird as you

Then I will climb a high, high tree
And I'll find that wild bird’s nest
And I'll bring back that singing bird
To the arms I love the best
For there’s none of them can sing so sweet
My singing bird as you
