THIG AN LA (Gillebride MacMillan aka
                                         
Thig an là is cinnteach thig an t-àm
Nuair a bhios sinn làmh ri làimh
Thig an là is cinnteach thig an t-àm
Nuair bhios ar dàimh, ’s ar gàir’ ’s càirdeas mar a bha.        

Pòg air gruaidh is fàilte chridheil thlàth
Òg is aost a’ càinnt le bàidh
’g òl le chèil’ air feasgar grianach blàth
Nuair bhios ar dàimh, ’s ar gàir’ ’s càirdeas mar a bha.

Tog do shùil is miannaich saoghal ùr
Bog do chas an uisge ciùin
An-sochair, cuir thus’ e air do chùl
Nuair bhios ar dàimh, ’s ar gàir’ ’s ar càirdeas tighinn fo bhlàth.

Thig an là is cinnteach thig an t-àm
Nuair a bhios sinn làmh ri làimh
Thig an là is cinnteach thig an t-àm
Nuair bhios ar dàimh, ’s ar gàir’ ’s càirdeas air ais fo bhlàth.

TRANSLATION - THE DAY WILL COME

The day will come and the time will come
When we’ll walk hand in hand
The day will come and the time will come
When our bonds, our laughs and friendship will   
be as they were.


A kiss on the cheek and a warm embrace
Young and old in warm conversation,
Having a drink together on a warm sunny evening
When our bonds, our laughs and friendship will   
be as they were.

Lift your eyes and seek a better world
Dip your toe in calm waters
Turn your back on uncertainty
When our bonds, our laughs and friendship will   
blossom again.

The day will come and the time will come
When we’ll walk hand in hand
The day will come and the time will come
When our bonds, our laughs and friendship will   
blossom again.
