Paul Laughlin

Ón Spéir Anuas

Brostaigh ort!

Breathnaigh suas
Ar an spéir!

Nach bhfeiceann tú
Na heitleáin
Ag bronnadh daonlathas
Anuas orainn?

Éist leis sin!

Nach gcluineann tú
Saoirse Mheiriceánach
Ag pléascadh fud fad
Na gcomharsanachtaí?

 

From On High

Hurry!

Can’t you see the planes
Bestowing democracy upon us
From on high ?

Listen!

Can’t you hear
American freedom exploding
In every neighbourhood ?
