Secret of Kells Lyric Art

I saw this movie 'The Secret of Kells' and have been on a Celtic rampage. So this is the Irish bit from a song in the movie. "Nil sa saol seo ach ceo, is ni bheimid beo, ach seal beag gearr" which loosely translates to there is nothing in this life/world but mist, and we will only be alive for a short time. according to Google and my own semi-knowledge of the language.

Also those knots on the N? Smaller than a dime. In other words F-ing tiny. I just about went cross eyed.

Also, no scanner so I apologize for the hideous picture.
