Summer is the time for travelling,
The great forest trees at peace,
No whistling wind to stir them,
The woodland’s cloak fresh green,
Streams vaporizing
And even the ground is warm.
Fó sín samrad sithaister,
sám fid forard forglide
nach fet gaíthe glúaiséba,
glas clúm caille clithaige,
sóit srotha sáebuisci
tes i fótán fó.
