Alba Gu Brath

ALBA  GU  BRATH
(Scotland Forever)

Càit' a bheil thu a' fuireach?
(where are you from)
Tha mi a'fuireach ann an Alba
(we are from Alba)
Ceud maìlle fàilte.
(one hundred thousand welcomes)

Cha ghéill sinn
(we will never surrender/fall back)


ALBA GU  BRATH.

I take it the language is that of Scots Gaelic...An ancient Celtic verse. It is very lovely. Thank you for sharing this, Andrew. My best regards! :) john
