Le Akka Mahadevi (12ú Aois)
Is Tú an fhoraois
is Tú na crainn mhóra go léir
san fhoraois
is Tú an t-éan is an t-ainmhí
isteach is amach ag súgradh
i measc na gcrann
a Thiarna atá chomh geal le seasmain
a líonann cách - atá líonta ag cách
cén fáth
nach nochtfá dhom Do ghnúis?
You are the forest
you are all the great trees
in the forest
you are bird and beast
playing in and out
of all the trees
O lord white as jasmine
filling and filled by all
why don't you
show me your face?
English version by A. K. Ramanujan
