Cold is the wind
through the doorway of the soldiers' house;
beloved the soldiers
who stood between us and the wind.
--Old Irish, recited by Rónán in the tragic tale "Fingal Rónáin." This and many other Old Irish translations are found on the website www.sengoídelc.com [=Old Irish]
Is úar gáeth
i ndorus tige na lláech;
batar inmaine laích
bítis etrainn ocus gaíth.
