We're All in This Together
This is another song that puts us in a good mood. It is from the film 'High School Musical' and it is a very catchy song. Have you heard the song before or maybe you have seen the film?
We also think that the message in this song is quite apt, given the current circumstances. Although it can be hard at times it is important to remember that we really are all in this together.

Dhá chéad ciliméadar
Tar liom b’fheidir
A' buala’ bóthar – a' bula' bóthar
Athrú in san atmaisféar
Tonnta móra, ag teacht aniar
(Muid) fite fuaite de shíor
Imíonn t-am ins an nglas agus buí
Is do ghruaig séidte siar insan ngaoth
Ag barr an tsléibh’ ard i bfhad uainn i gcéin
Mé ag samhlú faoin suíomh i do chroí
Léim isteach sa ngluaistean
Níl deifir orainn a bheith ann
Lig do scíth go hiomlán
Ar an mbóthar céanna,
Gath na gréine
Nois táimid beo – not tá muid beo
Tine chrámh faoi réalt na spéire
breacadh lae beidh muid le chéile
Muid) fite fuaite de shíor
Imíonn (an) t-am ins an nglas agus buí
Is do ghruaig séidte siar insa ngaoth
Ag barr an stléibh’ ard i bfhad uainn i gcéin
Mé ag samhlú faoin suíomh i do chroí
Léim isteach sa ngluaisteán
Níl deifir orainn a bheith ann
Lig do scíth go hiomlán
Suighfidh beirt ar mo chlé
Agus beirt ins sa mback
Aon chasadh siar
Tairrainroidh muid raic
Imíonn (an) t-am ins an nglas agus buí
Is do ghruaig séidte siar leis an _(insa) ngaoth
Ag barr an stléibh’ ard i bfhad uainn i gcéin
Mé ag samhlú faoin suíomh i do chroí
