Transliteration and translation

Ar sŋímeachadh ag moileadh fígin, aonúr hú tiortar ag tiortar!
Asaiŋŋt asŋataigh hú cré chiamh,
Ach aru le tnáigh bhfá mar le taimhear gil bólaí máslaeŋa le sonaiŋŋt.
Cuín arfásaigh an Saichte gúine;
Réisí réanmataigh ag blóstaigh hú, ag réisí h-oithitigh an rách.

Tomhsásuħus, Lisnóiŋeadh na Saoibh

When a man gives praise and thanks, let him do so repeatedly!
Die he will one day,
but he must have faith that leaves can sprout from barren soil.
For the spirit-complex is ever actively present,
so long as it dawns and dusks, and so long as time passes.

• ar + SUBJECT + le + VERB.VN means "SUBJECT must VERB".
• VERB.VN + VERB + SUBJECT is an emphatic construction meaning "SUBJECT [surely, definitely] VERBs". A clause in this form can also have a concessive force.
