at 5 oclock in the morning | Ar a cuig a chlog ar maidin |
she wanted to watch television | theastaigh an telefis uaithi |
who could argue with a young lady | An féidir argóint le beainín |
of two and a half | Dhá bhliain go leith? |
down we went together | Síos linn le chéile, |
we didn't bother getting dressed | Níos bhacas fiú le gléasadh |
and the room was freezing | Is bhí an seomra préachta |
with no light in the sky, yet we stared at wonder | Gan solas fós sa spéir, Stánamar le hiontas |
Now! Happy? | Anois! Sásta? |
But she saw snow | Ach chonaic sise sneachta |
And a giraffe through the snow | Is sioraf tríd an sneachta |
and an arcic owl | Is ulchabhán Artach |
hovering | Ag faoileáil |
above it | Os a chionn |
