Cosain dom le do thoil, a chosaint ceart dom.
lets-get-reckless:
Sa dorchadas is mo, agus is mo an tsolais, Cosain dom le do thoil, a chosaint ceart dom. Liom brath ar tu, lena shealbhu m. I mo lamha an-, chrua agus fuar. Iarraim ort, a chosaint dom. Sa dorchadas is mo, an mo an tsolais.

A tongue-twisting labour of love in Canada's... →
Kian Ely runs by the big tent, squealing as his feet brush through the grass. He looks like any four-year-old. But when he opens his mouth, almost no one at his school back home or anywhere else but here could understand him.
