I solemnly pledge
in my language
that I shall not insult anyone else’s,
and so that I change
my language with every birth,
I pledge to keep being reborn.
I say this to the living world,
even to birds, animals, insects.

Geallaimse go Sollúnta
Geallaimse go sollúnta
i mo theanga féin
nach maslóidh mé teanga ar bith eile,
agus chun go n-athróinnse mo theanga
le gach breith,
geallaimse go leanfad orm ag teacht ar an saol.
Fógraímse an méid sin leis an saol beo,
leis an éanlaith fiú, le hainmhithe, le feithidí.

AH TRYST
Ah tryst
In ma ain leid

an sae that a chynge

ah tryst tae keep kythin.
Ah threep this tae the leevin warl,
e'en tae burds, baists, an creepy crawlies.
