Saint Paddy!

Just a hat tip to my patron saint.

 

 

Ah mo buachaill stór de na ngleann,

Do óige agus neart adored,

Súile na hÉireann a ghabháil do teens,

Mar is féidir fir saibhir acmhainn maith.

 

 

Stealth is féidir leat chun dul ar ais,

Glacann A eaglais na fir amháin,

Ar ais ina dhiaidh sin go dtí an Tuaisceart agus

Thiar,Mar easpag Pádraig an Pháil Bhaile Átha Cliath.

 

Leanaí Little foghlaim fós uait,

Scéal nathracha slithering dtí seo,

Do anam pious agus mhín raibh mar thoradh,

Chun Sainthood scríofa ar bharra ór.

 

Cathanna throid do do chomhlacht marbh,

Áitíonn muid go fóill faoin áit a scíth a ligean ort,

Ná réiteach le treoracha a fir,

Rud amháin atá a fhios againn, tá tú ár gcuid is fearr.

Dear Thomas,

Interesting piece. Thanks, Butterfly Kisses, for the translation of the last two verses. This is helpful and I learned a lot. Amazing how language roots appear across so many languages. I was struck, for example, by the word for gold, i.e., "ór". This is similar in so many languages. My, do we have common roots.

Thomas, how about a translation of the rest of the poem so that we can all really enjoy it? Looking forward to learning more of your Irish roots, but you have to help me, My Friend!

All the best and looking forward to learning more.

High marks for inspiring us to reach to new goals!

I'm sure it's good to someone, Thomas...but I like to understand what I read...sorry.
I do, however, appreciate the pride and commitment.

Pride in who you are is always welcomed. Unfortunately not everybody embraces pride with an ability to demonstrate it.
