Latha Math - Mànran

Chorus

Latha math air an Eilean

Eilean Leòdhais mo Ghràidh

Latha math air an Eilean

Dachaigh mo smuaintean gu bràth

Verse 1

Ag èirigh tràth anns a' mhadainn

A' ghrian a' deàrrsadh sìos

Tha àile na mara a' tighinn tron uinneig

Tha h-uile duin' an àirde

Verse 2

Tha an abhainn làn le pailteas uisge

Tha am bradan a' tighinn a-rithist

Tha na balaich bheaga shios air an drochaid

Feuch an glac iad aon no dhà

Verse 3

Tha an t-Earrach ann 's na làithean fada

Tha na h-uain a' ruith mun cuairt

Tha na bodaich a-muigh a' buain na mònach

Tha an t-àm sin air tighinn a-rithist

Verse 4

Tha a' ghealach shuas 's a' ghrian na cadal

Tha an oidhche nis air tighinn

Tha e sàmhach is ciùin tron an Eilean

Tha e math a bhith beò

Tha e math a bhith beò

Chorus

A good day on the Island

Lewis Island my Love

A good day on the Island

Keep my thoughts to yourself

Verse 1

Getting up early in the morning

The sun shining down

The sea breeze is coming through the window

Everyone is the height

Verse 2

The river is full with an abundance of water

The salmon is coming again

The little boys are down on the bridge

See if they catch one or two

Verse 3

Spring is here and the days are long

The lambs are running around

The old men are outside cutting the peat

That time has come again

Verse 4

The moon is up and the sun is asleep

The night has now come

It is quiet and peaceful throughout the Island

It's good to be alive

It's good to be alive
