about

'S i a Ghaeilge a' chiad chànan Gàidhealach a dh' ionnsaich Brian. 'S i ar cànain Gàidhealach an rud as prìseil dhuinn agus bu chòir dhuinn i a chleachdadh gu minig le chèile, ge bith far am bi sinn a' fuireach.

A song of empowerment and hope written in Irish Gaelic.

lyrics

Táim beo is marbh - is Gael mé
Faoin dtuath is sa chathair - is Gael mé
Ar tír is ar muir – is Gael mé
Im chorp is im aigne aerach

Beir glóir dár muinntir - is Gaeil iad
I bhfulaingt is bua - is Gaeil iad
I gcreideamh is anam - is Gaeil iad
Lán ghrá is dóchas go deo

’Nár dteaghlaigh s’nár gcumainn - is Gaeil muid
Sinn oscailte réitithe - Gaeil muid
Lán tuiscint ’nár dúchas - is Gaeil muid
Lán réidh don dúshlán ’tá romhainn

Labhraígí an teanga - is Gaeil sibh
Lán taca don cheartas - is Gaeil sibh
Seas an aghaidh olcais - is Gaeil sibh
Is déan deimhnin de cé sibhse go bráth

In Éirinn, in Albainn – is Gaeil sinn
Sa Mheirceá Thuaidh - is Gaeil sinn
Sa Mhanainn is Sasana - is Gaeil sinn
Ar fud an domhain ar fad
---
I'm alive and dead - I am a Gael
In the countryside and city - I am a Gael
On land and sea - I am a Gael
In my body and lively mind

Give praise to our people - They are Gaels
In suffering and achievement - They are Gaels
In beliefs and spirit - They are Gaels
Forever full of love and hope

In our families and gatherings - We are Gaels
We are open and ready - We are Gaels
Fully understanding of our heritage - We are Gaels
Fully prepared for the hardships afore us

Speak the language - You are Gaels
Fully support justice - You are Gaels
Stand against malice - You are Gaels
Always be certain of who you are

In Ireland, in Scotland - We are Gaels
In North America - We are Gaels
In Mann and England - We are Gaels
Across the whole wide world
