What are the lyrics of the song in English?

learn the language

@liamcrouse easier said than done :D

hard to do if you arent surrounded by speakers and you live in an area that doesnt offer classes. I would love to learn Gaeilge, but, how?

If your going to be pedantic it's Gaeilge!

We too must fade, quiet eventually till the winds carry our storm to a new past. Remember.

So the situation is quite different to Ireland from what I know. We were starting off with a strong base of serveral big counties with 90%+ speakers (which are still the strongholds today). Also in many of the areas which are majority English speaking now, e.g. the mining Valleys of the south east, these all had strong Welsh speaking communities in living memory. So I think Ireland was starting from a weaker position to begin with and it was always going to be a harder task.
