Bealtainski svetilniki / Beacons at Bealtaine

On May Day 2004, Ireland hosted the Day of Welcomes to celebrate the accession of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia to the European Union. Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney was commissioned by the Government of Ireland to write a poem for the ceremony. To mark the twentieth anniversary of this historic day, his poem, ‘Beacons at Bealtaine’, has been translated into Slovenian language by Nada Grošelj.

1. maja 2004 se je EU pridružilo deset držav - Ciper, Češka, Estonija, Madžarska, Latvija, Litva, Malta, Poljska, Slovaška in Slovenija. Takrat je EU predsedovala Irska. V obeležitev ‘Dneva dobrodošlic’, kot so uradno poimenovali ta dan Irci, je po naročilu Vlade Irske nobelov nagrajenec Seamus Heaney spisal pesem ‘Beacons at Bealtaine’. Ob dvajseti obletnici tega zgodovinskega dne je pesem v slovenščino prevedla Nada Grošelj.
