Deireadh an Tuath
Sí an Ghealach,                          It is the Moon
Mall san oiche,                           Slow in the nightSí an Ghrian                              It is the Sun
Fán liom go Deo.                       Stay with me for everHoireann is O Hi O Ho ra Ha.
Sí na Samhna                            It is November    (1)Tús na Bliain Ur,                       The beginning of the New YearSí an Chrann Marbh                   It's the dead tree
Deireadh an Tua.                        The end of the rainbow.
Samhna is a version of Samhan which is the name given to the first day of November.  This day was a very large feast in pagan, esp. Celtic, tradition. Indeed,  the Irish word for November is Samhain. It was one of the most important festivals of the year. Oiche Samhna is the Irish for Halloween.
