This week’s #literary #masterpiece, based on An Bonnán Buí by Cathal Buí Mac Giolla Ghunna. #StarTrek #Irish #linguistics
An Tribble Buí
A thribble bhuí, ’sé mo léan do luí
Níos ciúine ná veidhlín ermine;
Chan easpa bí ach nimhe clingonaigh
A d’fhág ’do luí thú ar chúl do chinn
(cibé áit a bhféadfadh sé sin a bheith).
O yellow tribble, I mourn you lying
Quieter than an ermine violin;
Not lack of food but Klingon poison
Has left you lying on the back of your head
(wherever that may be).
