Our Lady of Palestine
a bilingual poem by Gabriel Rosenstock, with image above by Banksy
Mary, pray for massacred infants
Mary, pray for infants still alive
Mary, pray for those as yet unborn
Pray, dear Mary, for Palestine.
Mary, you saw your own Son tortured
Mary, you saw him die in pain:
Pray, dear Mary for all Palestinians
Mary, it’s Calvary all over again
Muire na Palaistíne
A Mhuire, guigh ar son naíonáin mharbha na Palaistíne
A Mhuire, guigh ar son na naíonán atá fós beo:
A Mhuire Mháthair, guigh ar son do thírese
Is ar son na naíonán nár rugadh fós
A Mhuire, chonaicís do Mhacsa á chéasadh
A Mhuire, chonaicís é spíonta ar an gcros
Guigh, a Mhuire dhil ar son na bPalaistíneach
Suaimhneas orthu go léir anocht!
