Who is She?

Cé hÍ?                      Who is she?

‘Cé hí an bandia seo agat?   ‘               Who is this goddess of yours?
Cé hí?                        Who is she?
Fantaisíocht, cuirfidh me geall.’   ‘Pure fantasy, I wager.’

‘An é nach léir duit í?’                  ‘Is she not clear to you?’
‘Ní léir!’                          ‘No, she is not.’

‘Is léire ná an lá í                       ‘Clearer than day is she
is léire ná an oíche …                ’   clearer than night …’

‘Ní léir domsa í …’                  ‘Not clear to me …’

‘Sí an lá san oíche í                ‘Day in night is she
an oíche sa lá …                  ’    night in day …’

‘Ní fheicim í …’                  ‘ I see her not …’

‘Féach ionat féinig!’                  ‘Look inside yourself!’

‘Deacair …’                ‘Difficult …’

‘Féach mar sin            ‘Then look
ar shioc an bhandé       at her frost
ar an bhféar.’                           covering the grass.’
