Aldebaran
(Dedicated to Ridley Scott)
Codladh Fada Long Sleep
Codladh Domhain Deep Sleep
Éirigh! Amharc síos Rise! Look down
Aldebaran. Aldebaran. (1)
Siúl liom trí an réalta dearg. Walk with me
through the red stars
Deireadh, deireadh an Turas The end, end of the journey
Réaltóg, réaltóg dearg. Star, red star
The Red giant Star, Aldebaran,
found in the constellation of Taurus,
is the Eye of the bull.
From the Arabic, Al Dabaran,
it means ‘the follower’ as it "follows" the Pleiades.
(From the liner notes on the re-release of _The Celts_)
