Amhrán Amergin (The Song of Amergin)

The "Song of Amergin" is one of the most famous and revered pieces of poetry in Irish mythology, attributed to Amergin Glúingel, the poet and druid of the Milesians. This ancient and mystical chant is said to have been recited by Amergin upon his arrival in Ireland, as the Milesians prepared to take the land from the Tuatha Dé Danann. The song is a powerful invocation that blends the natural and supernatural, with Amergin declaring his identity as various elements of the world—both tangible and abstract. He proclaims himself as the wind, the sea, the stag, the hawk, and the force within everything, symbolizing the interconnectedness of all things and his deep attunement to the natural world. The "Song of Amergin" is not just a poetic declaration but also a magical incantation, believed to have calmed the stormy seas and asserted the Milesians' rightful claim to the land. This profound piece of verse encapsulates the Celtic belief in the power of words, the sacredness of nature, and the spiritual authority of the poet, making it a cornerstone of Irish mythological tradition.

Am gaeth i m-muir,
Am tond trethan,
Am fuaim mara,
Am dam secht ndirend,
Am séig i n-aill,
Am dér gréne,
Am cain lubai,
Am torc ar gail,
Am he i l-lind,
Am loch i m-maig,
Am brí a ndai,
Am bri danae,
Am bri i fodb fras feochtu,Am dé delbas do chind codnu,
Coiche nod gleith clochur slébe?Cia on co tagair aesa éscai?
Cia du i l-laig fuiniud gréne?

Cia beir buar o thig tethrach?
Cia buar tethrach tibi?
Cia dám, cia dé delbas faebru a ndind ailsiu?
Cáinte im gai, cainte gaithe.
