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 |
