                <text>Garpháistí, soilse mo chroí&#13;
Torthaí glúnta imithe thíos,&#13;
Tabhair dom aoibhneas is dóchas,&#13;
Síol na nglúnta le teacht fós.&#13;
&#13;
Cailín óg, solas mo chroí&#13;
Ag beamadh trí ceo na beatha,&#13;
Ag polladh gruaim le’d mhiongháire,&#13;
Ag mealladh mo shean chroí le grá,&#13;
Faigh céile dílis, fíor do’n saol&#13;
Chun turas mór an saol a sheol,&#13;
Bígí feasach faoi bhúr céile,&#13;
Is comhlíonadh a chéile brí bhúr mbeatha.&#13;

Curfá &#13;
&#13;
Buachaill óg is tú cúis bród&#13;
Le géaga tréan is aigne gasta,&#13;
Cosantóir ár líne fola,&#13;
Fás ciallmhar, lách, maith, cróga.&#13;
Faigh céile deas le meas maith uirthí,&#13;
Seachain cailín glórach, gárfach,&#13;

Is le bhúr riachtanais bí riarach.&#13;
&#13;
Curfá&#13;
In bhúr sean aois bí slán, sabháilte&#13;
Le clann is cáirde gar ar láimh,&#13;
Comhlíonta le gach ‘tá bainte,&#13;
‘Gus croí lán sásta le ’tá déanta.&#13;
Garpháistí ag bronnadh dóchas&#13;
Mo aois níos mó ná bratóga,&#13;
Mé féin níos mó ná fear bréige:&#13;
Lonrú mo chroí le athbheochan.&#13;
&#13;
Curfá &#13;
&#13;
Féach ar ‘Dad’s Song’ do’n leagan Béarla.&#13;
&#13;
Chorus&#13;
Garpháistí, you melt my heart;&#13;
Torthaí glúine imithe, thart;&#13;
Bring me joy and pride and hope:&#13;
Síol na nglúine le teacht fós.&#13;
&#13;
Cailín Óg, you light my life,&#13;
Beaming through the fog of life,&#13;
Piercing gloom with your coy smile,&#13;
Charming my old heart with joy.&#13;
Find someone who’s true to you;&#13;
Together see life’s voyage through;&#13;
Be aware of both your needs;&#13;
May ‘Fulfill Each Other’ be your creed.&#13;
Chorus&#13;
Buachaill Óg, you are my pride,&#13;
Strong in limb and swift in mind;&#13;
You are the minder of our blood:&#13;
Grow wise and brave, be kind, be good.&#13;
Find a wife, respect her well,&#13;
Avoid the loud and gaudy girls;&#13;
Keep her safe, make her smile;&#13;
Meet both your needs, all the while.&#13;
Chorus&#13;
May old age see you safe and sound&#13;
With friends and family all around&#13;
Admiring all you have achieved,&#13;
And your heart content with all your deeds.&#13;
Garpháisti, you bring me hope&#13;
That age is more than tattered coat;&#13;
I will be more than old scarecrow:&#13;
My ageing heart restores its glow.&#13;
Chorus&#13;

                <text>Amhrán faoi laochra is ea Sé Mo Laoch. Tugann laochra áthas agus bród agus dóchas dúinn: déanaimid ceiliúradh le háthas ar a mbua; táimid bródúil as a ngníomhartha; glacaimid dóchas óna gcumas adversity a shárú. Tugann garpháistí na bronntanais áthais, bród agus dóchais do sheantuismitheoirí freisin. Tar éis taithí a fháil ar na rudaí atá tábhachtach sa saol, is mian le seantuismitheoirí sásamh agus sásamh dá ngarpháistí. Is féidir an sonas seo a fháil trí chaidrimh chomhbhácha agus sásúla, rud a theastaíonn ó gach duine agus a theastaíonn ó sheantuismitheoirí dá garpháistí.&#13;
&#13;
Sé Mo Laoch is a song about heroes. Heroes give us joy and pride and hope: we celebrate with joy at their victories; we take pride in their deeds; we take hope from their potential to overcome adversity. Grandchildren also bring those gifts of joy, pride and hope to grandparents. Having experienced what’s important in life, grandparents wish fulfillment and contentment for their grandchildren. This happiness can be found through caring and fulfilling relationships, something all humans need and that grandparents wish for their grandchildren.</text>

Fillean an fáinleog gach samhradh&#13;
Do’n nead óna d’eitil ar dtús&#13;

Agus caithin a chlois tú an cuirliún,&#13;

Grág traonach I ngarra an féir?&#13;

Bhí cuach ‘gus cuirliún comónta&#13;

Scriosta is millte anuas.&#13;

NATURE LOST&#13;
The swallows return every summer&#13;
Near the nest where they flew their first flight.&#13;
But their numbers grow fewer and fewer:&#13;
Few insects refuel their long flight.&#13;
&#13;
Chorus&#13;
When did you last hear the curlew,&#13;
The call of the cuckoo at dawn,&#13;
The splash of the salmon in summer,&#13;
The croak of the crake in the corn?&#13;
&#13;
The cuckoo and curlew, once common,&#13;
Pleasing our ears with their calls&#13;
Find the landscape they like is no longer:&#13;
They’ll soon have no shelter at all.&#13;
&#13;
Chorus&#13;
&#13;
The salmon returns to the water,&#13;
Back to the place it was born,&#13;
But phosphate, and sewage, and litter&#13;
Now hinder the surge home to spawn.&#13;
&#13;
Chorus&#13;
&#13;
The corncrake was fond of hay meadows:&#13;
The long grass there sheltered its nest;&#13;
Now silage is shaved in big prairies&#13;
And the corncrake is gone like the rest.&#13;
&#13;
Chorus&#13;

Tá go leor de na fuaimeanna a bhí coitianta in Éirinn anois ag fáil bháis nó imithe. Tá damáiste déanta againn don Dúlra agus ar an gcaoi sin táimid ag déanamh damáiste dúinn féin agus dár n-Oidhreacht Nádúrtha. Mura ndéanaimid athchóiriú, cén oidhreacht a fhágfaimid dár bpáistí agus ár ngarpháistí?&#13;
&#13;
Many of the sounds that were common in Ireland are now dying or gone. We have damaged Nature and in so doing are damaging ourselves and our Natural Heritage. If we do not restore, what heritage will we leave our children and grandchildren?</text>
