Subject: RE: Gaelic trans.: Eamonn an Chniuic
Through frost and through snow Tired and hunted I go In fear both from friend and from neighbour My horses run wild My acres untilled And they all them lost to my labour But it grieves me far more Than the loss of my store That there's none who would shield me from danger So my fate it must be To fare eastward o'er sea And languish amid the stranger
obviously not a "literal" translation but singable......by Donal O'Sullivan from "Songs of the Irish"
