Na Dathanna / The Colours

Bogha Báistí / Rainbow

Here is the translation of the poem:

Bogha Báistí - Rainbow

Dearg agus glas, Red and green,

gorm agus buí, blue and yellow,

Féach sa spéir, Look in the sky,

An bogha báistí. The rainbow.

Ag bun an bogha, At the end of the rainbow,

Tá pota breá mór, There is a big pot,

Féach isteach ann, Look inside,

Is leatsa an t-ór. The gold is yours.
