Lyrics
Don't tell me I'm dead when my heart is beating strong
Though I'm down upon my knees I will rise in song
And the voice of generations still to see the dawning day
Will be heard on the mountains and the bay
Hold, hold and live for the goal
We still can save our soul
Hold, hold and live for the goal
And the anchors of our soul
I was born to the bloodline and the land of the Gael
And I won't lie down and watch the end of our tale
We can't rewrite the past, but our future can be made
And the road to change our story can be laid
Hold, hold and live for the goal
We still can save our soul
Hold, hold and live for the goal
And the anchors of our soul
Seinn, seinn an duan
Le guthan àrda gun ghruaim
Seinn, seinn an duan
Buan gu bràth
*translation*
Sing, sing the ballad With loud noisy voices Sing, sing the ballad Lasting forever
In our day we stand now to lose it or to live
We have one last chance before the lifelines give
Use the history and the hope of our people and our plight
To wake up now and see the morning light
Hold, hold and live for the goal
We still can save our soul
Hold, hold and live for the goal
And the anchors of our soul
Seinn, seinn an duan
Le guthan àrda gun ghruaim
Seinn, seinn an duan
Buan gu bràth
*translation*
Sing, sing the ballad With loud noisy voices Sing, sing the ballad Lasting forever
We will walk to the future with the power of our past
And the wounds long held will be healed at last
And the rise of the Gael in our time will come
From the old through the passion of the young
Hold, hold and live for the goal
We still can save our soul
Hold, hold and live for the goal
And the anchors of our
Hold, hold and live for the goal
We still can save our soul
Hold, hold and live for the goal
And the anchors of our soul
Seinn, seinn an duan
Le guthan àrda gun ghruaim
Seinn, seinn an duan
Buan gu bràth
