An Bréag is mó sa Domhan

rinne sí osna mór

She let out a big sigh.

nuair a thainic an t-ualach uirthí

when the load fell onto her

ach síos leis

but down with him

agus bhuail sé... thug sé aghaidh ar an mbóthar abhaile

and he hit... he faced the road home.

Ní i bhfad a fuair sé ná gur mhoithigh siad torann mór thairis é

He didn't get far before they heard a loud noise over him.

ach céard a bheadh ann ach bhris a droim ina dhá leath

but what would it be but her back broke into two halves.

"Dona go leor" a deir sé, "céard a dheanas mé?"

"Bad enough" he says, "what will I do?"

Bhí coill an taobh eile den bhóthar agus isteach leis .

There was a wood on the other side of the road and in he went.

bhí sé dearcadh thart agus ag breathnú

He was looking around and watching.

ná go bhfaigheadh sé rud eicínt ann

that he might find something there.

ar deireadh chonaic sé crann saileog.

at last he saw a willow tree.

tharraing sé scian bheag as a phóca agus níorbh fhada ná gur ghearr sé an

He pulled a small knife from his pocket and it wasn't long before he cut

an crann

the tree

Chuir sé a barr... an saileog isteach faoina ruball agus amach ar a bhéal.

He put the top... of the willow in under his tail and out his mouth

"Amach leatsa anois" a deir sé "anois tá tú ceart". Bhuail sé an bóthar abhaile

"Out with you now" he says "now you are right". He hit the road home.
