Chan urrainn dhut mo thionndadh gu fuath.
Faodaidh tu fearg a dhùsgadh nam chrìdhe,
faodaidh tu mo chur air bhoile —
ach bidh gaol agam ort gu bràth,
ge b’ e dè cho cruaidh ‘s a dh’fheuchas tu.

[...] and if you wanted
to drown you could,
but you don’t
because finally
after all this struggle
and all these years
you simply don’t want to
any more
you’ve simply had enough
of drowning
and you want to live and you
want to love and you will
walk across any territory
and any darkness
