Faclan/Lyrics
Seo mar chunna sùilean òga
Ro-hò, thugaibh, thugaibh i-rì
A dh’fhairich saoghal bha trom, fo-bhròn
Ro-hò hì-o, hì-o
‘S mi a’ dìreadh sleibhtean Tìr na Fèinne
‘s a tearnadh coiltean bhailtean cèine.
Ana-ceartas air a chlèith,
Tha an t-àm ann ‘son a chuir an cèill
When those in power know no shame
The truth’s by any other name.
‘S bochd am beartas a thig gun truas
Tha an teanga blàth; tha ‘n crìdhe fuar.
A’ Dhòmhnaill Iain thar a’ chuain
Nach èisd thu ris an fhìrinn bhuaine?
Fawning legions, empty songs
Can’t hide a life of bitter wrongs
‘S olc do bhriathran gràineil, faoine
a thruailleadh mathas a chinne-daonna
As pain and terror cloud the view
The faceless steal the world we knew
Tha an dà là a’tighinn air an t-saoghal
Cò thèid an cuibhreach, cò bhios saor?
The bonds of blame can be undone
For the innocence of those to come.
Thig am fuasgladh an aghaidh an t-sruth
Bidh lamhan gaolach air an stiùir.
An dà là….
Bithibh dana, bithibh treun
Eadar-theangacheadh/Translation
This is as it was seen by young eyes
Ro-hò, thugaibh, thugaibh i-rì
That learnt of a world burdened by sadness
Ro-hò hì-o, hì-o
As I ascended the slopes of the land of heroes
And descended forests of foreign towns.
Injustice hidden from view
The time has come to reveal it.
When those in power know no shame
The truth’s by any other name.
It’s a poor wealth that comes without compassion
The tounge is warm; the heart is cold.
Donald Iain over the ocean,
Won’t you listen to the everlasting truth?
Fawning legions, empty songs
Can’t hide a life of bitter wrongs
How evil your hateful, vain words
That would sully the goodness of mankind.
As pain and terror cloud the view
The faceless steal the world we knew
Great change is coming to the World
Who’ll go in chains and who’ll be free?
The bonds of blame cane be undone
For the innocence of those to come.
The emancipation will come against the flow
And loving hands will be on the tiller.
Great change (the two days)
Be bold, be strong
