'S i a Ghaeilge a' chiad chànan Gàidhealach a dh' ionnsaich Brian. 'S i ar cànain Gàidhealach an rud as prìseil dhuinn agus bu chòir dhuinn i a chleachdadh gu minig le chèile, ge bith far am bi sinn a' fuireach.
A song of empowerment and hope written in Irish Gaelic.

Táim beo is marbh - is Gael mé
Faoin dtuath is sa chathair - is Gael mé Ar tír is ar muir – is Gael mé Im chorp is im aigne aerach Beir glóir dár muinntir - is Gaeil iad I bhfulaingt is bua - is Gaeil iad I gcreideamh is anam - is Gaeil iad Lán ghrá is dóchas go deo ’Nár dteaghlaigh s’nár gcumainn - is Gaeil muid Sinn oscailte réitithe - Gaeil muid Lán tuiscint ’nár dúchas - is Gaeil muid Lán réidh don dúshlán ’tá romhainn Labhraígí an teanga - is Gaeil sibh Lán taca don cheartas - is Gaeil sibh Seas an aghaidh olcais - is Gaeil sibh Is déan deimhnin de cé sibhse go bráth In Éirinn, in Albainn – is Gaeil sinn Sa Mheirceá Thuaidh - is Gaeil sinn Sa Mhanainn is Sasana - is Gaeil sinn Ar fud an domhain ar fad |
I'm alive and dead - I am a Gael
In the countryside and city - I am a Gael On land and sea - I am a Gael In my body and lively mind Give praise to our people - They are Gaels In suffering and achievement - They are Gaels In beliefs and spirit - They are Gaels Forever full of love and hope In our families and gatherings - We are Gaels We are open and ready - We are Gaels Fully understanding of our heritage - We are Gaels Fully prepared for the hardships afore us Speak the language - You are Gaels Fully support justice - You are Gaels Stand against malice - You are Gaels Always be certain of who you are In Ireland, in Scotland - We are Gaels In North America - We are Gaels In Mann and England - We are Gaels Across the whole wide world |
