| The Blackbird by Belfast Loch - translation by Gerard Murphy |
Int én bec
ro léic feit,
do rinn guip
glanbuidi:
fo-ceird faíd
ós Loch Laíg,
lon do chraíb
charnbuidi.
The little bird,
which has whistled from
the end of a
bright yellow bill:
it utters a note
above Belfast Loch –
a blackbird from
a yellow-heaped branch.
