A Cradle Song​/​Seoith​í​n Seó

from Whorls by Enda Reilly

/

about

This one has the English and Irish in there, translated by Gabriel. This Whorl was sung at the start of the Everlasting Voices play. I had to learn to walk down stairs and on to the stage with this one. It's a lullaby but has an eerieness to it.

lyrics

A CRADLE SONG/SEOITHÍN SEÓ

The angels are stooping
Above your bed;
They weary of trooping
With the whimpering dead.

Is crom iad na haingil
Os cionn do leapa;
Tuirseach dá gcoisíocht
Is de ghéar-gheoin na marbh.

God's laughing in Heaven
To see you so good;
The Sailing Seven
Are gay with His mood.

An Dúileamh ag gáire
Ar fheiceáil do mhéine Dó
An Seachtar ag Seoladh
Go haerach gan anró.


I sigh that kiss you,
For I must own
That I shall miss you
When you have grown.

Seo póigín is osna duit!
Ní mór dom a rá
Go mbraithfidh mé uaim thú,
A stór, is tú ag fás.
