Gaelic Translation:
Friday morning and the country is under a cloud
But I am tired of sorrow, pessimism, and gloom
This is the tenth day of April and we have been let down again
The decision that our people have bought at a price
The spirit of the people is brighter than the moon
Deeper than the ocean
We will find our place in the world
In a new generation
High: The peoples struggle
High: A Voice and self-determination
High: We are moving
We will reach up there
Many troubles now confront us, Highlander and Lowlander
As I keep one eye on history, one eye on my children,
Keep belief in your life, joy in your heart
This is not the end of the road, but the start of a new age
The spirit of the people is brighter than the moon
Deeper than the ocean
We will find our place in the world
In a new generation
High: The peoples struggle
High: A Voice and self-determination
High: We are moving
We will reach up there
I can not live in the house of despondency
But in faith and in hope till the end of my days
The spark in your soul is the centre of your whole existence
And it is bigger and stronger than any government or King
