Lao Décheannach: le Laura Gilpin
Amárach, nuair a thiocfaidh na gasúir
ar an lao ar leith seo,
Clúdóidh siad a chorp le páipéar nuachta
agus iomprófar é go dtí an músaem.
Ach anocht tá sé beo
sa gharraí thuaidh lena mháthair.
Is tráthnóna foirfe samhraidh é:
an ghealach ag éirí thar an úllord,
an ghaoth san fhéar.
Agus é ag stánadh ar an spéir
Tá dhá oiread níos mó réaltaí ná mar is gnách.
Two-Headed Calf
Tomorrow, when the farm boys
find this freak of nature,
they will wrap his body in newspaper
and carry him to the museum.
But tonight he is alive
and in the North field with his mother.
It is a perfect summer evening:
the moon rising over the orchard,
the wind in the grass.
And as he stares into the sky,
there are twice as many stars as usual.
Translation to Irish by me :)
