931.0. "Celtic poetry" by SYSTEM::COCKBURN (Craig Cockburn) Thu Jul 25 1991 08:02
From: Marion GUNN <MGUNN%[email protected]>
Agus beart seaniris� � chur i dtreo agam, th�nag ar roinnt d�nta
leis an bhfile Albanach Ruaraidh Mac Th�mais aistrithe go Gaeilge na
h�ireann ag Liam Pr�t.
<When I was tidying a bundle of old magazines I came across some>
<poetry by the Scottish poet, Ruaraidh Mac Th�mais, with translation>
<into Irish Gaelic by Liam Pr�t.>
(A) RT's original, in Scottish Gaelic
(B) LP's translation into Irish Gaelic
(C) translation into English (mine)
(A) Smuaintean ann an Cafe an Glaschu
A iomallan Burna a bha iad,
�g, br�agh, is g�ir' air am bilean dealbhach,
p�gan tais na gr�in' orra fhathast
an d�idh buige a' mhonsoon.
ce�l m�n nach togadh mo chluasan ceart,
's bha beagan coibhneis 'na mo chridhe riutha -
thuig ,i cho duilich 's a tha dhan S.E.D.
iarrtasan nan Gaidheal a thuigsinn.
(B) Smaointe i gCafe i nGlasch�
� imeallaibh Burma a bh� siad,
�g, bre�, is g�ire ar a mbeola dealbhacha,
p�ga taise na gr�ine orthu f�s
i ndiaidh boige an mhons�in,
ceol m�n nach dt�gfadh mo chluasa ceart,
is bh� beag�n coibhnis i mo chro� leo -
thuig m� chomh doiligh is at� s� don Roinn Oideachais
iarratas na nGael a thuiscint.
(C) Thoughts in a Cafe in Glasgow
They were from the borderlands of Burma,
young, fine, with a laugh on their shapely lips,
still upon them the damp kiss of the sun
after the softness of the monsoon,
sweet music that my ears couldn't properly catch,
and I felt a touch of affinity with them -
I understood how hard it is for the Department of Education
to understand the petitions of the Gael.
