"On the other side of the (prison) door there was no sun
There was no food and there was no wine"
But the day of release has now arrived
Like a flood, like a bird on the wing
"Keep your eyes open and listen"
There is a well of riches at the Feis
Our children today, with the voices of yesterday
Champions of youth, with joy, with respect
Joyful
I have no worries now
A new era has risen up
From a bleak and an arid wilderness
She is lovely, she is beautiful
She is strong, she is golden

Taobh cul an dorais cha robh grian
Cha robh biadh is cha robh fion
Tha la' an t-saoradh neist air tighinn
Mar tuil, mar eun air sgiath
Cum a mach do shuil is eisd
Tha tobar shaibhreas aig an fheis
Ar clann an-diugh, le guth an de
Gasgaich og, le mire, le speis
Sona 'drasd 'tha mi
'S mi gun uallach bhon a' ghreun
Lin ur a tighinn gu bi
'Mach a fasach lom is tiorram
Thai I ladir, tha I orach
