CEOL AGUS FUAIM

By Sophie Mckenzie   Posted in Byline Creative Writing Fiction Gaeilge
Posted on September 29, 2016October 12, 2016

As Gaeilge:

Duirt an filiméala:
Do chan mé nuair a rugadh mé
Agus gan séis, gan fonn
Níl ionat ach guth

Do fhreagair an faoláin:
Do chaoin mé nuair a rugadh mé
Agus ós cionn búir na tonnta
Tá saoirse san fhuaim.

 

In English:

The nightingale said:
I sang when I was born
And without melody, without tune
You are only a voice

The gull answered:
I cried when I was born
And over the bellow of the waves
There is freedom in noise.
