Chuig Solomh tháinig
An Bhanríon Sheabá
D’fhonn gaois a fháil uaidh.
Is nuair a tháinig sí ina lathair go deimhin
Thuirling a chuid iontas uirthi ina shlaoda chomh tobann sin
Gur comhleádh sa mharana í.
Thug sí do an uile ní ansin,
Is sa tíolacadh sin
Deineadh slad ar fad di –
Frídín ní raibh fágtha
Dá croí ná dá haigne –
Bádh an uile ní sa ghrá.

The Queen of Sheba
Came to Solomon;
That was in order to gain wisdom.
When she had found him, indeed,
His wonders streamed upon her so suddenly
That she melted in contemplation.
She gave him all,
And the gift robbed her
Of everything she had within --
In both heart and mind,
Nothing remained:
Everything was engulfed in love.
