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 wish I could read this without google translate! Amazing though! I hope you wouldn't mind me reading this to my English class this St. Patrick's Day?

This just shows off your talent! I love this and the fact that you wrote it in a different language just makes it even deeper :)

Little children are still learning from you,
Slithering snakes to this story,
Your pious and gentle soul was as a result,
For Sainthood written on gold bars.

Battles fought for your dead body,
We still argue about where you relax,
Do not settle with instructions to men,
One thing we know, you're our best.

Takes me back to some family roots. A wonderful playful piece, Thomas! Nicely done!

I like the words. May take me days to figure out the meanings. Thank you for the entertaining poetry.

I love it, always a fan of works done in native tongues. Very lyrical and musical, as one other reviewer mentioned it feels like it could be accompanied with flute or zither. Well done!

Saint Patrick influenced many. You allowed me to hear the Irish. Well done.
