Bhí go maith agus ní raibh go dona.
It was good and it wasn’t bad.
SEÁN: Sa mála agus d'imigh Seán.
SEÁN: In the bag and Seán left..
Leis an billí cat bán agus é leis ar a dhroim.
With the white cat's tail and it on his back...
Agus nuair a bhí sé ag dul an bóthar.
And when he was going the road...
Casadh fear ar maidin.
A man was met in the morning.
Céard atá leat sa mála?
What do you have in the bag?
"Cá bhfuil tú ag dul?" ar seisean.
"Where are you going?" he said.
"Tá mé ag dul ag an bhfíodóir," ar seisean.
"I am going to the weaver," he said.
Bhí sé ag imeacht is ag síorimeacht.
He was going and constantly going..
Sheáin, ar seisean, céard atá leat sa mála sin?
Sheáin, said he, what have you in that bag?
