AG FOGHLAIM GAELIGE LE MO DHEIRFIÚR
(Learning Irish with my sister.)
“Feic! ”
(“Look! ”)
“A lacha and a luch! ”
(“A mouse and a duck! ”)
“Is tusa my little lachín! ”
“Is tusa my little lachín! ”
“Is tusa my little lachín! ”
('You’re my little duckling! ”)
Broken Irish & English
all squeals & screams
& ticklings.
Oh my heart
was in... mo bhéal!
Oh bhí mo chroí
... in my mouth
with love and laughter and delight.
