The Lambs in Springtime

'S iomadh la a rinn sinn suidhe
Rinn sinn suidhe 's ghabh sinn smuaint
De math bhi suidhe fas nas aosd
'S laithean earraich a falbh bhuainn

Chur sinn ar canan na'r cridhe
Fhuair sinn aron's rinn sinn seinn
Thoir dhuinn lamh comhnaidh 'seinnibh co'rinn
'S leith cheile togaidh sinne fonn

Og tha sinn og
Og na ar cridhe
Beatha na'r coinneamh
Coineal na'r laimh
'S an again tha neart
Is an again tha 'n corrum
Nar cridhe gu brath
Tha sinn og
og

Tha sibh mar na h-uain a's t-earrach
Suibhal 's a leam, tapaidh saor
Ach an fhacabh sibh na caoraich aosd'
Ni aon dhuibh gluasad's leanaidh 'n cor

Nuair bhios na bliadhnaichean 'dol bhuabh
Lathan deirdh lathan dorch
Cum do choneil an ard is laighste
'S coisich an saoghal le cridhe og

Og tha sinn og
Og na ar cridhe
Beatha na'r coinneamh
Coineal na'r laimh
'S an again tha neart
Is an again tha 'n corrum
Nar cridhe gu brath
Tha sinn og
og

Many's the time we sat down
We sat down and thought to ourselves
What is the point in sitting, growing older
The days of springtime disappearing from us

We put our language in our hearts
We found a song and sung it
Give us a helping hand, sing along with us
And together we can make things happen

You are like the lambs in springtime
Running around, jumping and carefree
But have you ever noticed the older sheep
When one moves they all follow

And when the years start departing from you
The difficult days, the darker days
Keep your candle aloft and lit
Walk this world with a young heart

Young, we are young, young in our hearts
Life ahead of us, a candle in our hands
We have the enthusiasm, we have the opportunity
In your attitude forever, stay young, stay young
