SWEET JAM – Translation
I stopped myself being angry
seeing sticky jam on the door
I knew how time would fly until
our house could be shining but
my baby would be grown up
a child no more
SUBH MILIS from the Irish by Séamus Ó Néill
Bhí subh milis
Ar bhaschrann an dorais
Ach mhúch mé an corraí
Ionam d’éirigh,
Mar smaoinigh mé ar an lá
A bheas an bhaschrann glan,
Agus an láimh bheag
Ar iarraidh.
