How i feel about aging and loosing any grip on an ever fading dim and distant 1990s heyday; [poorly] translated from the Irish:
I am The Hag of Beara,
I used to wear ever-new gowns
The maidens rejoice
when May-day comes to them
For me sorrow is overwhelming,
I am wretched; an old hag
Amen! Woe is me!
Every acorn has to drop
after feasting by shining candles,
I am in the gloom of prayer
I had my day with kings
Drinking mead and wine;
Today I drink whey-water
among shriveled old hags
