Cé tú féin, a strainséar chaoin? Cé tú féin? An lách no dian Do bhuille thréan? Cé tú féin? Ar tháinig tú ó i bhfad gcéin? Aniar aduaidh, anoir aneas? Ar tháinig tú ó fuacht nó teas? Cé tú féin?
Tar isteach, a strainséar righin Tar isteach Suí chun boird Ól braon di Nó lig do scíth 'S inis dúinn an fáth go bhfuil Do aghaidh chiúin uaigneach dorcha An fáth go bhfuil do shúile lán le cuamha
Cé tú féin?...
'S im' chuisle I gcuideachta órga 's draíochta Im' lorg i leabaidh I leabhar mór gach míosa Ní thagaim níor tháinig mé riamh Ar an ní a bhí uaim
'S i ngleannta I gcoillte le scaipeadh na síolta Mé thuas seal 's thíos seal Le suaitheadh gach oíche Ní bhraithim níor bhraith mé riamh An ní a bhí uaim
Slán agat, a strainséar chaoin Slán agat 'S guíom gach rath 'S sonas ort amach anseo 'S beidh fáilte romhat 'riamh i m' chroí Cé uaigneach cé sonasach Cé meangadh mór na gréine ar do aghaidh
Who are you, kind stranger? Who are you? Are you gentle or aggressive Since your traumatic ordeal? Who are you? And did you come from far away? From west from north, from east from south? Did you come from cold or from heat? Who are you?
Come in, tense stranger Come in Sit by the table Have a drink Or have a rest And tell us the reason why Your quiet face is dark and lonely Why your eyes are full of sadness
Who are you?...
In my pulse In magical, golden company In my footstep, in beds In the great book of every months I don't arrive or ever come upon What's essential for my needs
And in valleys In forests with the scattering of seeds I fill with hope and then deposit With each night's storm I don't feel and I have never felt What's essential for my needs
And good-bye, gentle stranger Good-bye for now And I wish you every success And happiness from here on in And you will always be welcome inside this heart Whether lonely, whether happy Whether the sun's wide smile is on your face
