21 Feb 11 - 12:47 PM (#3099792) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Capercaillie - Rann Na Móna From: MartinRyan RunrigFan "the right translation"? Wot's dat? It appears to be a relatively free translation of the original (Donegal) Irish. Google translation is unlikely to help! If you have particular problem lines, point them out and I'll try. Regards |

Boladh féir is draíocht san aer, ís ach an gcroí a dhamhsa |

Grass smell magic in the air, but the heart of dance |

The translation on the website is relatively "free" i.e. not trying to be literal but trying to maintain the poetic feeling and, where possible, rhythm. The Google translation is mechanical i.e. not aware of poetry and not particularly good at being literal! Regards |
