Lyrics

Triantán lonrach,
croí ag crith ag a bharr —
dlúth, ag cromán,
beagnach ró-mhór.

tri-an-tán lon-rach
krii ag krich ag a var
dluh, ag kru-mán
bja-nach roh-vohr

A glowing triangle,
a vibrating heart at its apex —
intimate, humming,
almost too much.

Ein leuchtendes Dreieck,
ein vibrierendes Herz im Scheitel —
intim, summend,
beinahe zu viel.

Lonradh órga,
mósáic ina dhiaidh,
foraois dathanna.

lon-rah or-ga
moh-sik i-na yee
fo-rish da-ha-na

Golden radiance,
a mosaic behind it,
a jungle of colors.

Goldenes Leuchten,
dahinter ein Mosaik,
ein Urwald aus Farben.

Téann an chreathadh tríot,
luascann tú,
buaic gan chorp.

tjaan an khrah-huv tree-ut
luas-kan tu
buak gan khorp

The vibration shakes through you,
you sway,
a climax without body.

Die Vibration bebt dich,
du schwingst,
ein Höhepunkt ohne Körper.

Go dtí go ndúisíonn tú.
Gan allas, gan tuirse.
Fuinneamh.

go dschii go noo-shen tu
gan al-as, gan tur-scha
fuin-yuv

Until you awaken.
No sweat, no exhaustion.
Energy.

Bis du erwachst.
Kein Schweiß, keine Erschöpfung.
Energie.

Éiginnte.
Go bhfeiceann tú an íomhá.
Ní leatsa í —
ach ón lá inniu.

eh-gin-te
go vek-an tu an ii-va
nii lat-sa ii
akh ohn la in-yoo

Uncertain.
Until you see the image.
Not yours —
but from today.

Ungewiss.
Bis du das Bild siehst.
Nicht deins —
aber von heute.

Amhráin bheo.
Amhráin bheo.

Living songs.

Lebendige Lieder.
Lebendige Lieder.

Amhráin bheo,
splanc san intinn.
Cogar na sean-dhair.

Living songs,
a flicker in the mind.
Whispers of the old oak.

Lebendige Lieder,
ein Flackern im Geist.
Das Füstern der alten Eiche.

Am an lae inné
ina am an lae inniu.
A n-am.

am an lay in-nje
i-na am an lay in-yoo

Time of yesterday
becomes time of today.
Their time.

Zeit von gestern
wird Zeit von heute.
Ihre Zeit.

Tugann siad onóir
don té a fheiceann
agus a thuigeann.

tu-gun shid on-or
don tje a vek-an
ag-us a hi-gun

They honor
who sees
and understands.

Sie ehren,
wer sieht
und versteht.

Siúl ar an teorainn,
triail —

Border-walk,
a trial —
by whom, through whom?

Grenzgang,
eine Prüfung,
von wem, durch wen?

Rithte?
Éiginnte.
Ar aghaidh?
Cinnte.

Leathnaithe, fiú.
Sa “mar sin féin”.
Cé nach n-iompaíonn uait?

lah-nee-ha fyoo
sa mar shin fayn
kye nokh nim-paan oo-it

Widened, even.
In the nevertheless.
Who does not look away?

Geweitet sogar.
Im Dennoch.
Wer sieht nicht weg?

B’fhéidir gurb í sin an triail.
Cad a sheasann tú?
Agus conas a sheasann tú é?

veh-dir gur bii shin an tril
kad a has-an tu
ag-us ko-nas a has-an tu eh

Maybe that is the trial.
What do you endure?
And how do you do it?

Vielleicht ist das die Prüfung.
Was hältst du aus?
Und wie tust du das?

Áilleacht? Pacáistiú?
An dá rud.
Agus crann seanchliste.

aal-acht? pa-kaa-shchu?
an daa rud
ag-us khran shan-khlish-ta

Beauty? Packing?
Both,
and an old wisdom tree.

Schönheit? Verpackung?
Beides.
Und ein alter Weisheitsbaum.

Tosaíonn mearbhall ag fás —
ciúin, mealltach.
Ní fheiceann tú é.

to-sheen mar-wal ag faas
kyoon myal-takh
nii vek-an tu eh

Confusion begins to form —
unobtrusive, beguiling.
You do not see it.

Verwechslung bahnt sich hier an.
Unaufdringlich, betörend.
Du siehst es nicht.

Daingean san earráid,
d’aon ghnó le comhbhá.
Gan phríosún do spioraid.

dan-gin san ar-rahd
daan gno lay koh-wa
gan frii-soon do spi-rid

Unshakable in your erring,
intentional with compassion.
No prison for spirits.

Unbeirrbar im Irren,
planvoll mit Mitgefühl.
Kein Gefängnis für Geister.

Conas a d’fhéadfaí iad a ghabháil riamh?
Leid de mhagadh,
caochadh súl.
Osnaíonn tú le faoiseamh —
ní thuigeann tú an magadh.

ko-nas a yay-fur-ee yad a ga-wal ree-ev
led da wa-guh
kii-chuh sool
os-nee-un tu lay fish-uv
nii hi-gun tu an wa-guh

How could they ever be trapped?
A hint of mockery,
a wink.
You sigh in relief —
the mockery you don’t understand.

Wie könnten sie je gefangen sein?
Ein Hauch von Spott,
augenzwinkernd.
Du seufzt aus Erleichterung —
den Spott verstehst du nicht.

Amhráin bheo.
Amhráin bheo.

Living songs.
Living songs.

Lebendige Lieder.
Lebendige Lieder.

Tugann siad onóir
don té a aimsíonn iad,
a fheiceann é,
a thuigeann é.
Mar sin féin.

tu-gun shid on-or
don tje a am-shee-un yad

mar shin fayn

They honor
who finds them,
who sees it,
who understands that.
Never-the-less.

Sie ehren,
wer sie findet,
es sieht,
das versteht.
Dennoch.

Trí rud nach féidir a mhúineadh…
…féile,
…filíocht,
…agus guth amhráin.

trii rud nakh fy-dir a woo-nee-uh

a quiet side room
for those who wish to linger with the song

Notes on Resonance and Tradition

The song speaks in proximity to traditions that trust song and voice as forms of knowing that cannot be reduced to teaching. It resonates with oral cultures where understanding is conferred through presence, timing, and attunement.

Humor and uncertainty are allowed to remain unresolved. Beauty is acknowledged without being separated from craft or packaging.

The closing gesture toward what cannot be taught situates the song among ways of speaking that honor limits gently, allowing song itself to remain a living act rather than a lesson.
