Airson Èoin, Mo Ghaol 
 
Choinneamh sinn, aig an toiseach 
Le chèile, Le chèile, Le chèile 
Cha robh am fios feumail dhuinn 
Carson b’ fheudar dhuinn a bhith 
Le chèile, Le chèile, Le chèile 
A riaraich ar dòchas, ar bruadar 
Le teaghlach agus cairdean againn 
Le chèile, Le chèile, Le chèile 
An àgh breithe, a’ ghràdh a leanas 
Agus an rud iongantach – leanabh a dh’fhàs 
A bhith mar caraid, Le chèile, mar aon 
 
Ach uaireanan bha tìdean dona, brònach ann 
Nuair rioghainn sinn a teann-ghlac 
An làmh taiceil 
Agus sinn nar seasamh 
Mar aon, Le chèile, mar aon 
 
Theid ar làithean seachad 
Agus iad a’ dol cho luath 
Le chèile, Le chèile, Le chèile 
Roinnidh sinn an àgh 
A’ ghaireachdaich 
Le chèile, Le chèile, mar aon 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

To Jonathan,my love 
 
We met, at the beginning 
Together 
We did not need to know  
Why we had to be  
Together 
To share the hopes and dreams 
Of family and friends 
Together 
The joy of birth and the love that follows 
The wonder of a child that grows to be 
A friend 
 
There were bad and sad times too, 
When we reached out to grasp 
The offered hand  
And tears flowing 
Stood  
Together 
 
And as our times pass on 
And pass so quickly too 
We will share the happiness, 
The laughter 
Together 

This song started life as a poem my mum wrote for my Dad on a significant birthday. My uncle translated it into Gaelic. On my parents 40th Wedding Anniversary I arranged the poem, set it to music and recorded it.
