Originale | Irish version of poem by Gabriel Rosenstock |
MINSTREL MAN | Cliaraí |
| |
Because my mouth | Leathan é mo chár |
Is wide with laughter | le gáire |
And my throat | domhain is ea mo bhráid |
Is deep with song, | is binn |
You do not think | ceapann tú |
I suffer after | nár iompraíos náire |
I have held my pain | agus pianta |
So long? | le mo linn? |
| |
Because my mouth | Toisc leathan é mo chár |
Is wide with laughter, | le gáire |
You do not hear | ní chloiseann tusa |
My inner cry? | scréach ná liú |
Because my feet | cé aerach iad |
Are gay with dancing, | mo chosa ag damhsa |
You do not know | gheobhadsa bás |
I die? | nach dtuigeann tú |
