AER GLAN

As aer glan a tháinís

As spéir íon

Ár mbeatha

As tobar ár ndúile

D’éirim á brú orm go fíochmhar

Níl dóthain nóimintí sa lá

Nocht Tú féin

Do bheola

As a séideann

Teangacha lasracha

Mo dháin

CLEAR AIR

You came from clear air

Pure sky

Of our being

Wellspring of desire

Your fierce intelligence pressing on me

There are not enough minutes to the day

Show Yourself

Your lips

From which issue

The flaming tongues

Of my poem
