Minstrel Man

Langston Hughes

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
