Like the sun, quenched its first morning
and the moon lost to the sea,
like the chill, lost unto the morning,
so you my love are lost to me!

I can hear now the pipers calling
on that far distant shore;
and my tears now like leaves are falling
and I will see your face no more!

You are sleeping, you are sleeping,
Oh no sleep or peace can comfort me;
I am weeping, oh I am weeping,
tonight I will sleep and sleep with thee.

Versione spagnola
Canción de Cuna para Los Muertos

Como el sol, saciada su primera mañana
y la luna perdida en el mar;
como el frío, perdido en la mañana
así, mi amor, perdido estás.

Escucho a las gaitas llamando
en la orilla distante;
mis lágrimas como hojas van cayendo:
ya no veré tu cara otra vez.

Estás durmiendo, durmiendo,
oh, no hay sueño ni paz que me consuele;
estoy llorando, estoy llorando
esta noche dormiré y dormiré contigo.

Irish transcreation by Gabriel Rosenstock
SUANTRAÍ DO NA MAIRBH

Mar an ngrian, ar maidin múchta
Is an ré sa tsáil’ á bá
Nó, a ghrá le scaipeadh an drúchta
Tá tusa imithe uaim go brách!

Cloisim fós é ceol mór na píbe
Ar an ngaoth ón trá thall
Ach ní chloiseann tú mé ag caoineadh
Ní fheicfidh mé do ghnúis ar ball!

I do chodladh, i do chodladh
Ó táim gan suan is gan aon sólás,
Táim ag caoineadh, táim a chograch
Is leag do cheann ar m’ucht go sámh.

I do chodladh, i do chodladh
Ó táim gan suan is gan aon sólás,
Táim ag caoineadh, táim a chograch
Is leag do cheann ar m’ucht go sámh.

Seoithín seó . . .
