Mo Bhocsa Peanta
My Paintbox

Pinc an dol fodha grèine
no craicean maoth pàiste.
Tha pinc aig bonn a’ bhogha-fhroise
agus dìtheanan soilleir brèagha.

Tha uaine na leipreachán a’ dannsa,
ga mo lìonadh le sonas,
Tha uaine mar sheamrag ceithir-bhileach,
an dath is fheàrr leam.

Tha geal mar mhullaichean taighe sa gheamhradh,
a’ ghealach a-muigh san fhànas,
Geal mar dreasa tè-bainnse,
gam fhàgail air bhioran.

Tha turc-gorm mar iasg luath
a’ snamh tron mhuir,
Tha turc-gorm mar cuan sèimh
gam fhàgail sàmhach.

Pink is the setting sun
or a soft babys skin.
Pink is the bottom of the rainbow
and lovely bright flowers

Green is a tiny dancing leprechaun
he makes me feel happy
Green is a four leaf clover
and my favourite colour

White is the rooftops in winter
the moon out in space
White is a bride’s dress
it makes me excited

Turquoise is a fast fish
racing through the sea
Turquoise is the still sea
it makes me calm
