Tour Scotland Travel Video Suas Leis A' Ghàidhlig Gaelic Song

Tour Scotland travel video Blog of the Suas Leis A' Ghàidhlig Gaelic song by the Gaelic Choir on ancestry visit to Dundee, Tayside, Scotland. Up with the Gaelic, a song of encouragement for the Gaelic language.

Togaibh i, togaibhi, cànain ar dùthcha;
Raise it up, raise it up, language of our country;
Togaibh a suas i gu h-inbhe ro-chliùitich;
Lift it up to to a rank of high honour;
Togaibh gu daingeann i ’s bithibh rith bàigheil.
Lift it firmly and be kindly with it
Hi horo, togaibh i; Suas leis a’ Ghàidhlig!
Hi horo, raise it up; Up with the Gaelic

’S i cànain na h-òige; ’s i cànain na h-aois;
It is the language of youth; it is the language of age;
B’ i cànain ar sinnsir; b’ i cànain an gaoil;
It was the language of our ancestors; it was the language
they loved;
Ged tha i nis aosd, tha i reachdmhor is treun;
Although it is old, it is strong and noble;
Cha do chaill i a clìth; ’s cha do strìochd i fo bheum.
It has not lost its vigour; and it has not yielded to attack.
