Ireland - An t-arm rua

An t-arm rua

In Donegal, Ireland, where wild winds roam,

Scoil Cnoc na Naomh is our cherished home.

Where voices soar from land to sea,

In Gaelic song, proud, wild, and free.

Friendship dances in every tune,

A bond that glows beneath each moon.

Scoil Cnoc na Naomh, a sacred space,

Where every child finds voice and place.

Our sixth class writes with hearts so strong,

A vision bright—a hopeful song.

Of justice, peace, and friendship true,

A world remade in every view.

From dreams they hold to truths they share,

Their words bring light, their thoughts laid bare.

And rising up with purpose wise,

An t-arm Rua lifts all hope to rise.

Please see lyrics and translations below.

An t-arm rua

Chím domhain nua. Lán le cairde, gan aon cruacht

I see a new world. Full of friends, without hardship

Braithim bealach úr. Anois ár n-uair

I see a new way. This is our time

Is linn an glór

This our voice

Achan tuairim, achan smaoineamh

Every opinion, every idea

Ar fud na tíre, thar an mhuir

Across the country, across the sea

Ag dul le chéile ag roinnt cultúr

Getting together sharing cultures

Damhsa is rince, cúrsaí ceoil

Dancing and dancing, music and song

Spórt is spraoi ó Dhú na nGall

Sport and fun from Donegal

Is cuma suim, is ionann iad

Whatever interest, they are the same

Scáirt amach ó Chnoc na Naomh

Shout it out from Cnoc na Naomh

An t-arm rua, spé an chumhacht

An t-arm rua, spread the power

Ardaigh ár ngutha chuig síochan

Raise our voices for peace

Is linn an bua, faoi néaltaí dubha

Victory is ours under dark clouds

Scaoil an stua ar fud an domhain

Release the rainbow across the world

An t-arm rua

Ag léamh, ag scríobh, ag foghlaim ar scoil

Reading, writing, learning at school

Caitheamh aimsire, fonn is fuil

Passtimes, full of joy

Ag imirt cluichí G.A.A

Playing G.A.A games

Aonbheannaigh, uirlisí tabhachtach

Unicorns, important instruments

Ealaín, ainmhithe, damhsa gaelach

Art, animals, Irish dancing

Nádúr, Lexus, fiú Jujitsu

Nature, Lexus even Jujitsu

Truailliú millteanach i ngach spás

Terrible pollution in evey space

Ag athrú dearcadh trí googly eyes

Changing attitudes through googly eyes

An t-arm rua, spé an chumhacht

Ant-arm rua, spread the power

Ardaigh ár ngutha chuig síochan

Raise our voices for peace

Is linn an bua, faoi néaltaí dubha

Victory is ours under dark clouds

Scaoil an stua ar fud an domhain

Release the rainbow across the world
