a shearc, conradh síochána á shíniú acu
cogadh fós ina gcroí
féach ionad an tsínithe
          Halla na Scáthán, Versailles
          a liacht sin scáthán, a liacht sin bréag

beloved, they sign a peace treaty
their hearts still at war
see where they sign it 
            the Hall of Mirrors, Versailles
            so many mirrors, so many lies
