Isle of Seals – Robben Island

Dearadh Angelee Deodhar

Oileán na Rónta (Robben Island)

Níor fhilleadar riamh
ar Robben Island
na rónta sin a thug a ainm
don áit

Stróiceadh an iomarca
dá bhfeoil
tógadh an iomarca
dá gcuid ola
uathu –

níor fhilleadar riamh

Isle of Seals – Robben Island

They never went back
to Robben Island
those seals that gave it
its name

Too much of their flesh
had been torn
too much of their oil
extracted –

they never went back
