Lyrics
Sunrise not Secular – Lasair an Oichdhe
Rann 1
Dean deis a nis
Cuir do stuth ri cheile
Ullaich a bhi siubhal
Tron an oidhche
Air slighe dhorch
Ach le solus a nochdadh
Aig gach brigh
A tha cuirteil
Rann 2
Sgàil cho dorch
Air an oidhche
A bhrosnaich smuaintean
Diomhair annam
Is mo shuil a
Glacadh lasair
Soillear is alainn
Ga m’ stiuireadh a nis
Rann 3
Tha sinn fhin
Feir mar lasair
Beag ach boidheach
Air oidhche dhubh
Le criomag ri ‘radh
Ann an comhradh an t-saoghail
A cluich ar pairt
Anns an dealbh mhòr
Rann 3
Tha sinn fhin
Feir mar lasair
Beag ach boidheach
Air oidhche dhubh
Le criomag ri ‘radh
Ann an comhradh an t-saoghail
A cluich ar pairt
Anns an dealbh mhòr
Seist
Eirich a nis a shluaigh
Ar tide a tighinn airson
Cothrom ur
Is gluais – gu tir a gheallaidh
Is beatha phailteis
A feitheamh oirbh
Sunrise not secular – Flame of the Night
Verse 1
Get ready now
Put your things togetherher
Prepare for travel
Through the night
On a pithc black road
But with lights apperarig
At very point
Chorus
People, rise now
Our time has come
For a brand new change
And move
To the promised land
As a life of vitality
Waits for you
Verse 2
A cloak so dark
On this night
Exiting thoughts
So profound within me
And my eye
It catches a flame
Bright and bonney
Guiding me now
Verse 3
We are all
Just like this flame
Small but bright
In the pitch black night
With a little to say
In the world’s conversation
Playing our part
In the bigger picture
