Shy one, shy one,

File: William Butler Yeats
Cumadóir: Rebecca Clarke

Cúthail, cúthail

Cúthail, cúthail
Cúthail í mo stór
I solas na tine
Lei féin go deo.

Iompraíonn sí isteach na gréithe
Go néata á leagan síos
Chuig oileáinín san uisce
A raghainnse lem’ ghéis.

Iompraíonn sí isteach na coinnle
Is tá mar bheadh ‘na lá,
Cúthail sa doras
Is cúthail sa scáil;

Is cúthail mar choinín
Cúthail is lách.
Ar oileán léi san uisce
A d’fhanfainn go brách.

Shy one, shy one 

Shy one, shy one,
Shy one of my heart,
She moves in the firelight
Pensively apart.

She carries in the dishes,
And lays them in a row.
To an isle in the water
With her would I go.

She carries in the candles,
And lights the curtained room,
Shy in the doorway
And shy in the gloom;

And shy as a rabbit,
Helpful and shy.
To an isle in the water,
With her would I fly.

Blate yin, blate yin

Blate yin, blate yin,
Blate yin o ma hert,
Muivin i the firelicht
Pensefu an apairt.

She feshes in the dishes,
An liggs thaim in a raw.
Tae yon isle i the watter
Wi her a'd fleet awa.

She carries in the caunles,
An lichts the curtained derk,
Blate i the door-sole
An blate i the mirk;

An blate as a mappie,
Helpfou an bleet.
Tae yon isle i the watter
Wi her wid a fleet.

a chruth
fágtha ina dhiaidh ag anam -
blaosc ciocáda

たましひのかたちを残し蟬の殻



the soul
leaving behind its shape
cicada shell

Fernando Pessoa


Para ser grande, sê inteiro: nada
        Teu exagera ou exclui.
Sê todo em cada coisa. Põe quanto és
        No mínimo que fazes.
Assim em cada lago a lua toda
        Brilha, porque alta vive.

14-2-1933

Odes de Ricardo Reis . Fernando Pessoa.


Le bheith mór
bí slán,
ná fág aon ní nach tú
ar lár,
ná cuir leis.
Bí slán i ngach ní.
Cuir gach aon chuid díot
sa rud is lú a dhéanfá
chun go soilseodh an ghealach
go niamhrach i ngach aon loch -
mar gur thuas in airde a bhláthaíonn sí

Gabriel Rosenstock


Tae be gey
be hale.
Leave naethin oot.
Dinnae ettle tae be mair
nor ye are.
Be hale in awthing.
Rax wi aw yer micht
it the peeriest thing ye dae.
Sae, in ilka loch, the muin
sheens wi sic bonnieness
fir it bluims up abuin.
