|
|
'S mor an leasan seo a thuigisinn |
It's a great lesson to understand |
|
Gur e dòchas neamhnaid gheal gun phrìs |
That hope is a priceless and precious white pearl |
|
An uair a thig na gaòthan fuara |
When those cold winds come in |
|
A bhriseadh bhalla-diòn ar sìth |
Which would breach the protective wall of our peace |
| |
|
|
Chan eagal duinn' nuair chithear boillsgeadh |
So that we need not fear when we catch a glimpse |
|
De sgòthan dubh' aig oir ar fianais |
Of dark storm clouds at the edge of our vision |
|
A togail cùrs' a steach dhar n-ionnsaigh |
Mapping a course in our direction |
|
Le tuil ro-throm an cridh' a' liònadh |
With floods so heavy as to fill our hearts |
| |
|
|
Soraidh slàn ri saoghal dorcha |
Fond farewell to a dark old world |
|
Agus fàilte mhór gu dachaigh ùr |
And welcome to a brand new home |
|
Steach gu tearmann shàbhailt àlainn |
Into a safe and beautiful sanctuary |
|
A thogar suas na mheadhon gaoil |
Built up as a means of love |
| |
|
|
Fiù 's a staigh am broinn an fhàsgaidh |
Even inside this shelter safe |
|
Tha obair nuadh an seo ri dheanamh |
There's a new work here to do |
|
A' cumail glan gach seòmar sàmhach |
Keeping clean each quiet room |
|
Bho thruailleadh inntinn fuairmean criònaidh |
From mind-pollution and the sounds of decay |
| |
|
|
'S mor am feum a staigh nar n-àigne |
It's so important inside our minds |
|
Bhith glanadh plaide throm eu-dòchais |
To wash the heavy sheet of disheartedness |
|
A sgùradh as gach uile shalchar |
Washing out each and every pollution |
|
Le dàin bho'n cridhe laoidhean sòlais |
With songs from the heart and hymns of hope |
| |
|
|
'S tiòdhlac thalaideach gun phrìs e |
It is an alluring gift without price |
|
Tha feathamh oirnn mar ni ar spàirn |
Which awaits us if we make haste |
|
Duil a dhireas faid na stàidhre |
A hope which will climb the full length of the stairs |
|
Gar toirt gu tioram gu ar dàn |
To bring us safely to our destiny |
| |
|
|
Soraidh slàn ri saoghal dorcha |
Fond farewell to a dark old world |
|
Agus fàilte mhór gu dachaigh ùr |
And welcome to a brand new home |
|
Steach gu tearmann shàbhailt àlainn |
Into a safe and beautiful sanctuary |
|
A thogar suas na mheadhon gaoil |
Built up as a means of love |
| |
|
|
Soraidh slàn ri saoghal dorcha |
Fond farewell to a dark old world |
|
Agus fàilte mhór gu dachaigh ùr |
And welcome to a brand new home |
|
Steach gu tearmann shàbhailt àlainn |
Into a safe and beautiful sanctuary |
|
A thogar suas na mheadhon gaoil |
Built up as a means of love |
