Agus ar áit na bonn nuair a chaith sé amach an t-uisce ins an doras

And the moment he threw the water out the door,

agus cér bith seort uisce broghach a bhí fágtha ag bean an ti i mbuicéad in íochtar an cisteanadh thíos,

and whatever sort of dirty water that was left by the woman of the house in a bucket in the lower end of the kitchen below

ní raibh aon am an uair sin le fáil, uaireadóir ar bith, ar ndóiche,

the time wasn't available, there were no watches, like

Agus mhoithigh mé fear amháin ag insean scéal faoi—seanfhear a bhí ann.

And I heard one man, telling a story about it - an old man it was.

Ó, bhail, mhoithigh mé go minic go bhfeicthí iad, go mbíodh siad ina gcineál aingle -

oh, well, I often heard that they would be seen, that they used to be sort of angels -

téana liom

come with me

agus dúirt sé go mbeadh sé leis

and he said, that he would be with him

lena bheath a shaothrú,

to earn his living

agus dúirt sé go ngabhfadh sé amach

and he said that he would go out

An bhfuil aon ní ag teastáil uait

Do you need anything?
