Scéalta Chois Cladaigh

D'éirigh an páiste

The child arose

agus thug sé aithinneacha na tine

and he brought the flames of the fire

ina chosa leis

in his legs with him

agus d'imigh sé ina mheadhair tine

he went into a (ball?) of fire

amach ar an doras

out the door

ghlan sé suas san aer

he disappeared into the air

D'imigh sé as an n-amharc

He went out of sight

ní fhacas, ní ba mhó é.

(and he) was not seen, ever again

bhoil anois, a deir, a dúirt an sagart

well now, says, said the priest

"sin í an Chaorthanach", a dúirt sé

"this is the Devil's mother", he said

"sin í máthair an Diabhail" ar ndóiche

"this is the mother of the devil" of course

"sin í an Chaorthanach", a dúirt sé, "a bhí istigh agaibh"

you had the Chaorthanach in with ye

ach ab ea gur chuir sibh cuireadh orm

but it was because you invited me

bhí bhur sá den Iasc Mór agaibh

agus níor mhoithigh mé aon fhocal ní ba mhó air sin

and I won't hear anything more about it
