He/she/it did not feel well.

Bíonn

There is.

Tony na bpingineacha bhoil 'Séard a bhí ann fear siúil.

Tony of the pennies, well, what he was was a travelling man..

Bhí sé ag dul thart anseo fadó.

He used to go around here long ago.

agus

and.

Eh

Eh.

Níl a fhios cé mhéad amhrán a bhí aige.

Nobody knows how many songs he had..

Ach

But.

Thiocfadh sé isteach go teach ar bith ná thiocfadh sé go dona sa bpáirc ná dá gcasfaí ar thúil an mbóthar é.

He could come into any house or he could turn up in the field or if he was met at the side of the road.

agus

and.

Thosódh sé go ndéarfadh sé amhrán ar dhá phingin ná trí pingine ná tuistiún agus bheadh sé ag dul suas.

He would start by saying a song for two pence or three pence or a sixpence and it would be going up..

Bhí amhrán aige, a deir sé, suas go dtí cúig phunt.

He had a song, he says, up to five pounds.

Anois, do bharúil?

Now, your opinion?

Ach

But.

Bhí an fear áitiúil seo ar aon nós, fear anois.

This local man was, anyway, a man now..
