ó ghlúin go glúin...
cumha na curaí
i ndiaidh na mara
|
from generation
to generation...
the currach's longing for the sea |
|
rónta
ag breathnú sa treo céanna...
cad tá cloiste acu |
seals
looking the same way...
what have they heard |
|
litir ó Mheiriceá...
beidh pórtar go leor
anocht ann |
a letter from America...
porter will be flowing
tonight |
|
tabhair aire do na beo
is na mairbh...
a Mhuire, réalt na mara!
|
mind the living
and the dead...
Mary, star of the sea! |
|
lá fada...
foighne is tost
an asail |
long day...
the silent patience
of a donkey |
|
ná habair faic...
tá cluasa
ar na clathacha |
say nothing...
stone walls
have ears |
