• Ò Cho Mealt

Nuair a bha sinn àg is saor
Thòisich sinn a seinn 'sa Ghàidhlig
Snìomh ceòl is a sgriobhadh òrain
'S a' cluaich 'nar còmhlan 'son ar bheòshlaint
Ò cho meallt 's a tha an saoghal

Dh'fhàg sinn eileanan an iar
'S thòisich sinn a cluich tro Alba
Is bha gnothaichean mar bu chòir
Gun do nochd an duine mòr a Lunnain
Ò cho meallt 's a tha an saoghal

"Abair ceol a th'agaibh an seo
Ò nach tig sibh còmhla riumsa
Is nì sinn adhartas tron an t-saoghal
Dìreach cuir t-ainm aig bonn a' phàipear"
Ò cho meallt 's a tha an saoghal

"Chan atharraich mi an ceòl agaibh ann
Chan atharraich mi na h-òrain Ghàidhlig"
Ach chuala sinn mu dheireadh thall
Na briagan 's na faclan falamh
Ò cho meallt 's a tha an saoghal

Sibhse a tha òg agus saor
Stad mas cuir sibh ainm ri pàipear
Is cùm a mach sùil 'son nan daoine mòra
An saoghal fuar tha ag adhradh airgead
Ò cho meallt 's a tha an saoghal

When were young and of independent spirit
We started singing in Gaelic language
Making music, writing songs
Playing in a band for our livelihood
There is much deception in the world

We left the islands of the west
And started playing throughout Scotland
And all was well
Until the big man from London appeared
There is much deception in the world

"This music has potential
Why don't you consider letting me take control
And we will make great progress in the world
Just sign your name at the bottom of this page"
There is much deception in the world

"I will not change the nature of your music
I will not alter your attitude to Gaelic language songs"
But all we heard at the end of the day
Were lies and empty words
There is much deception in the world

Now all of you that are young and of independent spirit
Take heed before you sign any contract
And keep a good look out for the 'big' talkers
From a cold world that makes profit its only goal
There is much deception in the world
