The Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen is the Dons' most cherished anthem, sung by fans at Pittodrie and whenever they travel away. Written in the 1950s as a tribute to the city, it became so embedded in Aberdeen football culture that it was the B-side to the club's 1983 European Cup Winners' Cup song. Hear the full anthem lyrics and sing along.
Lirieke vir The Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen
The Northern Lights of old Aberdeen
Mean home sweet home to me
The Northern Lights of Aberdeen
Are what I long to be
I’ve been a wanderer all of my life
Any many a sight I've seen
God speed the day when l'm on my way
To my home in Aberdeen
When I was a lad, a tiny wee lad
My mother said to me
Come see the Dons, the glorious Dons
Down at Pittodrie
She called them the heavenly dancers
The dancers in the sky
I'll never forget, that wonderful sight
Down at Pittodrie...
