Na Rubálaidhe

An am amháin

Once upon a time

bhí fear

there was a man

agus dúirt sé go ngabhfadh sé amach

and he said that he would go out

lena bheath a shaothrú,

to earn his living

bhí sé ag siúl

he was walking

ar fhad a' bhóthar

along the road

's nuair a tháinic sé coirnéal a' bhóthair

and when he came to the corner of the road

casadh leis tarbh

he met with a bull

agus labhair an tarbh leis

and the bull spoke to him

agus dúirt sé go mbeadh sé leis

and he said, that he would be with him

"maith mar a tharla" ar seisean

"good that it happened" says he

téana liom

come with me

shiúil siad ar fhad a bhóthar

they walked along the road

agus casadh leofa

and they met

gabhar

a goat
