Lá Róúil

 

    Lá Róúil

 

Lá róúil, lá róúil, déanfad lá róúil,

Lá róúil, lá róúil, déanfad lá róúil,

Lá róúil, lá róúil, déanfad lá róúil,

Ní fada go bhfeicfidh mé arís thú.

 

Tógfar ár spiorad s'ár gcroí

Beidh orainn athas an tsaoil

Tógfar an cian mór dúinn

Is ní fada go mbeidh muid mar a bhí.

 

Scartha ní bheidh mé go deo,

Ó do lámh, ó do mhuirneadh is ó do thaobh,

Sinn a bhí lúcháireach lá,

Is ní fada go mbeidh muid mar a bhí.

 

    A Great Day

 

A great day, great day, I'll have a great day,

It won't be long till I see you again.

 

Our spirits and our hearts will be lifted,

The joys of life will be upon us,

The great grief will be lifted from us,

It won't be long till we are as we were.

 

I won't be separated forever,

From your hand, from your embrace, from your side,

We, that were happy once,

It won't be long till we are as we were.

      "It won't be long till we are as we were." Hope transporting us forward in time to those happy days ahead when lovers, family and community, will be healthly reunited again.
