Day by day the haze of city lingers
Burning these hills of stolen liberty
O tir, tir mo rùn, O tir, tir mo chridhe
One day we'll find a yound pretender
Kindle the fire of Gaeldoni's legacy
O tir, tir mo rùn, O tir, tir mo chridhe
Turning a blind eye to the values of home
Running the fast lane to belong
We'll see the light when the jewels of the crown they are gone
Dean sàor, dean sàor an spiòrad
Is seinn d'orain beo
The Cuiaba to Nova Scotia Indians
Carving theri dream of pride and dignity
O tir, tir nan òir, O tir, tir na'dhaoine
Turning a blind eye to the values of home
Running the fast lane to belong
We'll see the light when the jewels of the crown they are gone
Dean sàor, dean sàor an spiòrad
Is seinn d'orain beo
Tog do shuil dh'an iarmailt
Machair dubh nan stoir
Faigh reull do'shliagha
Lean I gu dan
Lift your eyes to the sky
A dark
(field of jewels)
Find the star of your destiny
And dare to follow it...
