dh'éirich a' mhuir shiabach, Ie grian mhaidne dearg-bhileach, a' tairgsinn dhomh biadh, ach shìn i air ais. dh'éirich a' mhuir chraobhach aig meadhan-latha, ban-ghruagach, ag ìobairt dhomh gaol, ach shìn i air ais. dh'éirich a' mhuir sgianach aig àm duibhre dubh-shùileach, is sguab i mi, sguab i, is chaith i air ais. Aonghas MacNeacail	the lathered sea rose, with morning sun red-lipped, offered me food, but then she drew back. the branching sea rose at noon flaxen-haired, offered me love, but she drew back. the bladed sea rose at dusk dark-eyed, she swept me up, swept me, and then tossed me back. Aonghas MacNeacail
