Chan ann ach thu, chan ann ach thu
Bho bhonn gu bàrr, aig deireadh an latha
Chan ann ach thu

Nuair a bhios do làithean làn
Is chì thu d' fhaileas sa' sgàthan àrd

Aig a' bhòrd le planaichean mòr'
Le dòchas ann, an aghaidh an t-sruth

Nuair a bhios do spiorad fann
Cuimhnich do chridhe is tog do cheann

'S iomadh brath ag ionnsaigh ort
Cum d' ùine fhèin airson do shlàint'

Ag òl is ag ith' is ag ith is ag òl
'S e 'n tagh agad fhèin bho latha gu latha

From the singing of Brian Ó hEadha and Fiona MacKenzie

Taken from the album Tìr

Translation

There's only you, there's only you
From bottom to top, at the end of the day,
There's only you

When your days are full
And you see your reflection in the high mirror

At the table with big plans
Full of hope, against the tide

When your spirit is weak
Remember your heart and lift your head

Multiple messages overpowering you
Manage your time for the sake of your health

Drinking and eating and eating and drinking
It's your decision day to day


(Side note second song is a traditional song

Lyrics in band camp and on the website
