An ghealach ag eitilt

the moon flying

Réaltaí sa spéar

stars in the sky

An spéirbhean i gceo

the woman in the sky in fog

An ghealach i gcoróin

the moon in a crown

An tír ina baclainn ghealach

the land in the moon's arms6

Áilleach fuar

a cold beauty

an ghealach ag scaipeadh scáileanna

the moon scattering shadows

an ghealach imithe i gceo

the moon gone in the fog

an ghealach mar réalt rúnda

the moon as a secret star

scáileanna iontacha

brilliant shadows

Áilleacht an banríon

the beauty of the queen

a haghaidh ceomhar

her foggy face

Ag tiomáint síos bóthar dhorca

driving down a dark road

An ghealach ag eitilt thar parceanna is crainn

the moon flying over fields and trees

Tá an ghealach chomh geal le réaltaí

the moon is as bright as stars

an ghealach thar an bhóthar

the moon over the road

oíche ceomhar

a foggy night

áilleacht na hoíche

the beauty of the night

an ghealach ag eitilt thar na pairceanna

the moon flying over fields

an ghealach mar banríon

the moon as a queen

an ghealach i gceo

the moon in fog

an ghealach ag scaipeadh scáileanna

the moon scattering shadows

an ghealach chomh geal le réalt

the moon as bright as a star

The poet uses a nice and simple language

Tá a lán íomhánna sa dán

there is a lot of images in the poem

Tá a lán mothúcháin sa dán

there is a lot of emotions in the poem

Tá atmaisféar álainn sa dán

there is a beautiful atmosphere in the poem

Tá meafar sa dán

Tá meafar sa dán

Ceapaim

I think

I mo thuairim

In my opinion

Chun an fhirinne a rá

To tell the truth

Mar a duirt mé cheanna féin

As I have already said

Ar an gcéad dul síos

Firstly

Ar dtús

To start

Chomh maith leis sin

As well as that
