An Bréag is mó sa Domhan

thóg sé an crann go raibh sé trasna ar an gcomhrainn é

He took the tree that it was across the grave.

A hare jumped out in front of him.

cuirtear an crann chaoi a ruball ar gerry agus isteach leis an giorria sa bpáirc

The tree is set, a tail is put on Gerry, and the hare goes into the field.

isteach leis an gearrbhodach na é

In with the little fellow it is.

níor stop sé riamh ná gur thit an coinnlín deiridh

he never stopped until the last candle fell.

agus nuair a thit thit an giorria mara

he put a jacket around him.

agus leag sé siar leis an lae

Now he says I have nothing to do but tie it and the stocking.
