Da Mhile Bliadhna - Runrig

Fo na gealachean

Air rathad da mhile bliadhn'

Co chreideadh na dh' fhairich sinn

'S na chunniac sinn ri ar linn

Dh' fhas am fasach suas

Far an do chuir sinn siol ar naire

Dlieab mor nan daoine

An t-acras is am pathadh

Anns an aineolas

Chaidh ar gairdeachas air chall

Da mhile bliadhna

Air an rathad lethainn mhall

Tha mi direadh a' chnuic as aird'

Airson sealladh, dhan an talamh

Air cul a' ghlinne waobh eile thall

Air sraidean baile a mhaireas

An la nach criochnaich is nach gluais

Tro na h-aireamhean

Mar fharadh theid sinn suas

Anns an dealachadh

Atharraichidh sinn an am priobadh suil

Thoir dhuinn an aireamh nuadh

Na laithean buan

--oOo--

Da mhile bliadhna (Two thousand years)

Below many moons

On a two thousand year old road

Who could have believed all that we have seen

And suffered in our generation

The wilderness has grown

Where we have sown the seeds of our shame

Hunger and thirst

The legacy of our population

In our ignorance

Our joy has lost direction

Two thousand years

On the slow broad way

I am climbing up the highest hill

For a sight of the landscape

Behind the other side of the valley

On the streets of the everlasting city

Day will not end, time will not shift

Up through the numbers

We will rise like stepping on a ladder

In the parting

We will be transformed in the blink of an eye

Give us the new number

The eternal days
