Is tá an dán seo agam ariamh.
And I have this poem always..
Abróidh mé le goitse anois you know.
I’ll say to Goitse now, you know..
Tic toc, an gcluineann tú mé?
Tic toc, do you hear me?
Is mise an clog is seanchlog me.
I am the clock, I am an old clock.
Bím i mo shaol go moch is go mall ag obair go dian gan pá le Pól.
I am in my life early and late working hard without pay with Pól.
Tá mná ag dul thart gan stad gan scíth.
Women are going around without stopping, without resting.
Ag taispeáint i gceart cá bhfuil éirí ann?
Correctly showing where there is success?
Buailim a hAon Buailim a Dó
I strike one I strike two.
Ní chloisinnse mé chomh luath sin sa ló.
I wouldn't hear it so early in the day.
Tá muintir an tí go fóill ina sún
The people of the house are still asleep.
