To America We Go - Ashley MacIsaac, Mary Jane Lamond

ËS e Ceap Breatuinn tir mo, ghráidh

TÏr nan craobh ë s nan beanntan árd

ËS e Ceap Breatuinn tir mo, ghráidh

TÏr ëas áillidh leinn air thalamh

(It is Cape Breton the land of my love

The land of the trees and high mountains

It is Cape Breton the land of my love

The most beautiful land on earth to us.)

(From the chorus of a song composed by

Dan Alex MacDonald, Framboise, Cape Breton)

Reel:

A null thar nan eileanan, gu dhíAmeireaga gun teid sinn

A null thar nan eileanan, gu dhíAmeireaga gun teid sinn

A null thar nan eileanan, gu dhíAmeireaga gun teid sinn

A null rathad Shasuinn agus dhachaidh rathad Eirinn

(Over across the islands, to America we will go

Over across the islands, to America we will go

Over across the islands, to America we will go

Over by way of England and home by way of Ireland)
