Paroles
On the mountain ledge
at the island edge,
dig in, dig in
Where the raven lifts
and the falcon shifts
dig in, dig in
High above the rockpool and the wrackline
High above the saltmarsh and the sand, you're clinging on
Little Thrift, sing out your song
dig in, dig in
Where the machair clings
And the selkie sings
dig in, dig in
Under granite skies
Where the gannet flies
dig in dig in
High above the rockpool and the wrackline
High above the saltmarsh and the sand, you're clinging on
Little Thrift, sing out your song
dig in, dig in
dig in, dig in
Ah kaa sing yé
Dankene yah muñio lé meta
Fo ka sing santo sing douma sing badala sing yeyeye yow
Ah Ka sing a sing sing iyé iyé iyé AAh sing yé
Thrift's gift is, Thrift's grace is
to thrive in harsh places
And show us hardship is a limit not a failing
Show us how to live in hope against the odds, you're clinging on,
Oh little Thrift, sing out your song
High above the rockpool and the wrackline
High above the saltmarsh and the sand,
you're clinging on
Little Thrift, sing out your song
dig in, dig in
dig in, dig in
