| Original | 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 |
