Ta’n lhondoo kiaulleeagh dy mie, The blackbird sings well,
Yn moghrey aalin shoh. This beautiful morning.
Ta’n gollan gheayee er hyndaa thie, The swallow has returned home,
Lesh cullyr aeg as noa. With young and new colour.
Ta’n niarragh aalin er jeet reesht, The beautiful Spring has come back,
Lesh frassyn as lesh grian. With showers and with sun.
Ny summarkyn ta blaaghey neesht, The primroses that bloom again,
Choud as ta’n ghrian soilshean. Whilst the sun shines.
Ta’n chooag er jeet reesht gys Crook, The cuckoo has come back to Crook(haven),
As gerrym myr v’ee rieau. And crows as she always did.
As ayns yn cheyll t’ee gra ‘cook cook’, And in the forest she says ‘cook cook’,
Myrgeddin er y clieau. Also on the mountain.
Ny heayin ta lheimyragh mygeayrt, The lambs that leap around,
Eer ayns yn faasagh shoh. Even in this wilderness.
As shynnee farkiagh myr v’ad keayrt, And foxes waiting as they were once,
Dy ee ny kiarkyn bio. To eat the hens alive.
Biljyn ny keylley lane dy chiaull, Trees of the forest full of music,
Lesh ushagyn chur booise. With birds giving thanks.
Da Jee ta reill dy chooilley voayl, To God who rules every place,
As cur dagh bannagh sheese. And sends down every blessing.
