I wanted to share this post from my friend Cristína Ní Dubhsláine who lost her beautiful 18 year old son Fionn a year ago in a sporting accident. This is her memory from a year ago. I believe it’s a song:
October 6, 2015 ·
Bí ann, bí liom – Be there, be with me
Bí gasta, bí cróga- Be quick, be brave
Bí cliste, bí cinnte- Be clever, be sure
Bí casta, bí glic – Be tricky, be sharp
Bí grámhar, gealgáireach- Be loving, light-hearted
Bí socair laistigh – Be steady inside
Bí doimhin ach bí éadrom – And be deep but be light
Gan teannas ar bith – With no tension inside
I do chorp, i do chroí – In your body, in your heart
I do cheann, ins a tslí – In your head,
Ina chuireann tú tú fhéin i láthair – In the way which you present yourself
I pé chomhluadar ina bhfuil tú – In whatever company you happen to be
Bí ann liom – Be there for me
Bí láidir il-dána – Be strong and be able
Nuair a chasann an domhan – When the world takes a turn
Bí ann dom – Be there with me
Agus buailfimid le chéile – And we will meet together
Nuair a thagann an t-am – When the right time comes.
I met Cristina in person at the Rather Gather Festival in the Spring, it was lovely to meet her, a beautiful, strong woman – I gave her a special Selenite cone and hope she liked it.
