Inscription.  

i ndorchacht an éadóchais rinneadh aisling dúinn.
lasamar solas an dóchais.
agus níor múchadh é.

i bhfásach an lagmhisnigh rinneadh aisling dúinn.
chuireamar crann na crógachta.
agus tháing bláth air.

i ngeimhreadh na daoirse rinneadh aisling dúinn.
mheileamar sneachta táimhe.
agus rith abhainn na hathbheochana as.

chuireamar ár n-aisling ag snámh mar eala ar an abhainn.
rinneadh fírinne den aisling.
rinneadh samhradh den gheimhreadh.
rinneadh saoirse den daoirse.
agus d'fhágamar agaibhse mar oidhreacht í.

a ghlúnta na saoirse cuimhnígí orainne, glúnta na haislinge...


We Saw A Vision

In the darkness of despair we saw a vision · We lit the light of
hope and it was not extinguished · In the desert of discouragement
we saw a vision · We planted the tree of valour · and it blossomed ·

In the winter of bondage we saw a vision · We melted the snow
of lethargy · and the river of resurrection flowed from it ·

We sent our vision aswim like a swan on the river. · The vision
became a reality · Winter became summer · Bondage became
freedom · and this we left to you as your inheritance ·

O generations

of freedom remember us, the generations of the vision ·

Nous avons eu une vision

Dans les tenebres du désespoir, nous avons eu une vision. ·
Nous avons allumé la lumière de l'esperance · et elle ne s'est pas éteinte ·

Dans le désert du découragement, nous avons eu une vision · Nous
avons planté l'arbre de la vaillance · et il a fleuri ·

Dans l'hiver de la servitude nous avons eu une vision · Nous
avons fait fondre la neige de la léthargie · et le fleuve de la
résurrection en a jailli ·

Nous avons fait voguer notre vision comme un cygne sur le
fleuve · La vision est devenue réalité · L'hiver est devenu l'été ·
La servitude est devenue liberté, et cette liberte nous vous l'avons laissée en héritage ·

Ô générations de la liberté, souvenez-vous de nous, les générations de la vision
