TG Lurgan made the already beautiful song 'See You Again' even more touching with their Irish language version
Every summer that Gaeltacht (Irish language speaking area) school Coláiste Lurgan is in session guarantees a stream of their signature music videos of hit songs translated as Gaeilge.

This summer has been no exception. Check out their lovely and totally moving version of “See You Again,” the Wiz Khalifa / Charlie Puth single from the film “Furious 7.”
The video was filmed as students from one of the summer sessions bid each other farewell, lending it a touching dose of reality, and dare we say the song sounds even better in Irish?
Watch the students' video here, and scroll down for the lyrics in Irish!

Nuair a chasann arís - "See You Again"
Curfá
Ní raibh riamh antráth - i gcónaí ar bís
Oh, nach a’ainn a bheas na scéalta nuiar a chasann aríst
Ní bheidh an aonró – ag fiorú an fís(e)
Oh, nach a’ainn a bheas na scéalta nuair a chasann aríst
Nuair a chasann aríst
[Rap 1]
Cinnte, b’fhiú
Gach uair a rug muid bua
Ar na rudaí a shásann tú
Beidh muid ag dul I neart ón lá inniu
I gcónaí athrú traic
Muid ag dul ar aistir bóthair b’in an chraic
Tiomáint thart ‘is ag tarraingt raic
Ní dheirfidh muid stop
Croch do cheann go bhfeicfidh tú an t-ollphictiúir
Mo chara cléibh
‘Sé mo thrua géar
Tú imí ‘nois i bhfad i gcéin
Réamhchurfá
Ce’ chaoi nach n-aireoidh mise uaim thú, ós tusa is giorra dhom
Na heachtraí a bhí againn ‘s tú seasamh ‘n aice liom
Déanamh míle dícheall mar a ‘spáin tú dhom
[Rap 2]
Gach rud athrú timpeall
Ag aireachtáil níos cinnte
Grá ag dul i dtreise
Nasc nach féidir briseadh
Sin anois ár gcreideamh
Fanacht ar an am
Bráithre muide chóiche
Banna atá dochlóite
Seasfaidh muid le bród
Ní ghéillfidh muid go deo
Muid tagtha ag an bpointe
Cuimhnigh ormsa gan mé ann
