Maidin maidin
Bím an-uaigneach ar maidin
Maidin maidin
Maidin is dobrón

Grian grian
Grian ag gáire ar mo ghnúis
Is an ghlóir atá sa bhorradh:
Táim á lobhadh i mo phluais

Iarnóin iarnóin
Bím an-uaigneach san iarnóin
Iarnóin iarnóin
Iarnóin is dobrón

Gealach gealach
Sámhaíonn tú na cnoic le cúr
Tá mo ghnúis ’na smidiríní
Ag do thaitneamh, ag do rún.

Oíche oíche
Ar mo ghruasa, ochón,
Oíche oíche
Faoiseamh níl i ndán go deo

Réaltaí réaltaí
Grámhar mé faoi spéir na seod
Réaltaí réaltaí
Blaisim deora – is do phóg
 

Morning, Morning

  Tuli Kupferberg (1923 -2010)

Morning morning
Feel so lonesome in the morning
Morning morning
Morning brings me grief

Sunshine sunshine
Sunshine laughs upon my face
& the glory of the growing
Puts me in my rotting place

Evening evening
Feel so lonesome in the evening
Evening evening
Evening brings me grief

Moonshine moonshine
Moonshine drugs the hills with grace
& the secret of the shining
Seeks to break my simple face

Nighttime nighttime
Kills the blood upon my cheek
Nighttime nighttime
Does not bring me to relief

Starshine starshine
Feel so loving in the starshine
Starshine starshine
Darling kiss me as I weep
