Irish Piece
Bíonn noiníní geala ag breacadh an fhéir;
Bíonn uain agus gamhna amuigh faoin aer;
Bíonn tuar ceatha daite go minic sa spéir;
Nuair a thagann an t-Earrach go hÉirinn.
Bíonn ceol binn na n-éan le clos ar gach taobh;
Bíonn duilleoga glasa ag teacht ar gach craobh;
Bíonn plandai ag eascairt as gach uile fréamh,
Nuair a thagann an t-Earrach go hÉirinn.
English Piece
The furry moth explores the night,
The fish discover cities drowned
And moles and worms and ants explore
The many cupboards underground.
The soaring lark explores the sky,
And gulls explore the stormy seas.
The busy squirrel rummages
Among the attics of the trees.
