Glaoch Abhaile: English Translation

Le ÁINE NÍ GHLINN

Sea sea a Mham

Go diail ar fad

Tá árasán agam

Dhá sheomra

Iad breá cluthar

Teas lárnach agus uile

No níl fón agam go fóill

Ach beadsa chugaibh don Nollaig

Sea don Nollaig

le cúnamh Dé

Leagann Páidín

síos an fón

Crochann

a mhála dufail

ar a ghualainn

A mhála codlata

faoina ascaill is

siúlann sé ar ais

chuig a bhosca

taobh thiar de

Stáisiún Waterloo

By ÁINE NÍ GHLINN

Yes yes, Mum Everything's fine I have an apartment Two rooms They are very cosy Central heating and all But I don't have a phone yet But I'll get one for you for Christmas Yes, for Christmas God willing

Páidín puts down the phone He hangs his coal bag on his shoulder His sleeping bag under his arm and he walks back to his box behind Waterloo Station
