TÁIM BÁSAITHE CHEANA FÉIN

Ghoin do shéimhe mé

Do thrócaire ba thrúig bháis dom

Goineoga milse trí gach ball díom

Ní léir dom an Ghaoluinn ná aon teanga eile

Ní léir dom ach an tuiseal gairmeach i bhfriotal aineoil

A thost so ionam

Ag corraí

I AM ALREADY DEAD

Your mildness wounded me

Your mercy was the death of me

Sweet snake fangs in all vital organs

Gaelic fades and all other languages

I only know the vocative case in an unknown tongue

Silence stirring

Within
