Níl mé ar ais ach caithfidh mé Lá Bealtaine a cheiliúradh.

Happy Lá Bealtaine to everyone.

Here are some poetic thoughts from Seamus Heaney (originally delivered at the EU Enlargement Ceremony in 2004) in many languages.

I offer this for peace and today I hold in my thoughts all the immigrants and their supporters marching today in the U.S.

Happy Lá Bealtaine to everyone.

Gurab amhlaidh duit!

Seo dán a scríobh mé cúpla bliain ó shin:

Bealtaine

Níor thiomáin mé eallach
idir dhá thine Bhealtaine.
Thiomáin mé tríd an gcathair,
mo dhá cheannsolas ar lasadh,
ag séanadh cách
sa dóigh is dual dom.

Na laethanta seo, bím ag siúl de ghnáth, ní ag tiomáint!

Lá Buí Bealtaine, a chairde!

An gcumann tu/ a la/n, Dennis? Ar iarr tu/ u/rsce/alta a scri/obh sa nGaeilge? B'fhe/idir go bhfe/adtar do chuid a le/amh.

"Happy Lá Bealtaine to everyone."

GRMMA!!! And to you, and to everyone else here.

Okay, we dragged all the livestock between the balefires, we chased each other through the woods all night, we got tangled up in the ribbons on the Maypole, and we ate until we came close to exploding. Back to work now, have to act all civilized again.

Bealtaine Sabbat, Blessed Be!

Slan agus beannacht leat.
