Gabriel Rosenstock: Tell Me, O Swan [Irish version]
Inis do scéal ársa dom
a Eala.
Cén tír
arb as duit
a Eala,
cén trá atá
mar sprioc agat?
Cá dtógfaidh tú scíth
a Eala
agus cad atá agat
á lorg?
A Eala,
dúisigh,
an mhaidin seo, sea,
seo leat
is lean mé
go magh mall
gan amhras gan bhuairt ann:
gan sceimhle an Bháis
níos mó.
Coillte an earraigh
faoi bhláth ann,
agus ‘Eisean Mise’
ina chumhracht
ar an ngaoth:
beach an chroí ann
sáite ina gnó
agus faic níos mó
á santú aici.
