Anns an aineolas
Chaidh ar gàirdeachas air chall
Thoir dhuinn an àireamh nuadh
Na laithean buan

In our ignorance
Our joy has lost direction
Give us the new number
The eternal days

Tog glainne mhòr na slàinte
Thoir an cearcall chun an làr

Lift high the glass of celebration
Take the circle to the dance floor

Bho m' uinneag tràth
Beinn Tianabhaig ag èiridh suas

From my window early
Ben Tianavaig is rising up

Bha snigh air na speuran
'S bha na reultan galach
A hi eile fe o hiri si bho horo hu
Fal eile bho hiri si bho ho fal eile bho

The skies look gloomly
The stars have grown murky

Down the lens where the headlands stand
I feel a healing through this land

There's a watcher waiting
On the edge of the world
With the thoughts that never darken
When the lights go down

Càch gun dòchas gun dachaigh
Air sraidean gun ghaol
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh

Others without hope or home
On streets that hold no love
The need to be far from the crowded river

Cho geal ri sneachd gach uile gheamhradh
An t-òran gaoil m' fhaosaid chiontach fhèin

Whiter than the snows of each winter
The song of love, my confession of guilt

From the little child in arms
To the leaders of the land
There's a need

You are my Lover, You are my Lover
You are my Lover, Lover

Where in purple hue the Highland hills we view
And the moon glints out in the gloaming

Down the neon aisles
And the twilight miles
Where the world takes comfort in shame

Mo chasan trom 's iad 'g iarraidh dhachaidh
'S m' inntinn dol mu 'n cuairt

My feet are tired, longing for home
My mind is wandering

The river's dark
In constant flow
Swollen by winter streams
And the melting snow

Now we walk in empty glens
Rushes blowing in the wind
A voice that's calling you again
To come back home

Air sràidean baile a mhaireas
An là nach criochnaich is nach gluais
Thoir dhuinn an àireamh nuadh
Na laithean buan

You can see it with your eyes
Feel it with your touch
Hear it in the silence of the night
But it shadows the divide
It's the all-consuming lie
It's an army on a promise to delight

'S ann thòisich iad ri Beurla rium
'S nach tuiginn fhèin ach Gàidhlig

Then they started speaking English to me
And I understood only Gaelic

You may walk and you may run
You leave your footprints all around the sun
And every time the storm and the soul wars come
You just keep on walking

An Gaidheal 'sa leabaidh
An Gaidheal 'na shuain
Le èiginn ar n-èirigh às ar suain

The Gael has gone to bed
The Gael is asleep
It is with difficulty that we will rise from our slumber

Hey, now boys there’s something not right
Did anyone see Willie
At the dance last night?
Let’s pick up Boa without a fuss
Chuck him in with the camans
At the back of the bus

There's a welcome lies in store
The strongest arms I've ever known
In the homes of the mighty Atlantic

It's hard to believe
But memories are old ghosts
Mountains of black and gold
Sunsets falling over the moor
Oh take me there!

Thèid do'n chrò 's nach òl am bainne
Hillean o ro bha ho
Thèid a dh' Eirinn ris a ghealaich

Hogi o hillean o ro bha ho

They'll go to the cattle-fold - but won't drink milk!
They'll go to Ireland by the light of the moon

She was fragrance all her days
And she blew in on a wing
We raised a flower from the dust
That she'll scatter on a wind
