Hanrahan Gorria Irlandari kantari

 

Cummen Strand-en gainera kraskatzen dira elorri zahar

nabarrak haize hotz beltzak ezkerraldetik jotzen duenean;

gure kemena ere zuhaitz zahar bat bezala hausten da,

haize beltzak jota, eta hil egiten da,

baina gorderik daukagu bihotzean

zure begien sua, Cathleen, Houlihan-en alaba.

 

Haizeak hodeiak pilatu ditu Knocknarea-ren gainera,

eta trumoiak jo du harrien kontra

—nahi duena esango du Maeve-k—.

Hodeitzar burrunbatsuen moduko haserreek

hartu dituzte gure bihotzak,

baina guztiok makurtzen gara behin eta berriz

zure oinei muin egitera, Cathleen, Houlihanen alaba.

 

Putzu horiak gainezka egin du Clooth-na-Bare goraino,

ezen haize bustiek astintzen baitute aire likina;

uholde lodien antzeko dira gure gorputza eta gure odola,

baina Gurutze Santuaren aurreko argizari garaiak

baino garbiagoa zu, Cathleen, Houlihanen alaba.

 

Red Hanrahan’s Song about Ireland

The old brown thom-trees break in two high over Cummen Strand, / Under a bitter black wind ..nat blows from the left hand; / Our courage breaks like an old tree in a black wind and dies, / But we have hidden in our hearts the flame out of the eyes / Of Cathleen, the daughter of Houlihan. // The wind has bundled up the clouds high over Knocknarea, / And thrown the thunder on the stones for all that Maeve can say. / Angers that are like noisy clouds have set our hearts abeat; / But we have all bent low and low and kissed the quiet feet / Of Cathleen, the daughter of Houlihan. // The yellow pool has overflowed high up on Clooth-na-Bare, / For the wet winds are blowing out of the clinging air; / Like heavy flooded waters our bodies and our blood; / But purer than a tall candle before the Holy Rood / Is Cathleen, the daughter of Houlihan.
