|
'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
|
