Nuair a bhéas an Boxty scríobhaí agamsa.
When I have the Boxty writer...
Fágfaidh mé an splanc ansin anois.
I will leave the spark there now.
Caithfidh mé mo chuid fataí a fháil anois.
I have to get my potatoes now.
Mo ghrá siar agus a dhul a' scríobadh an woxter.
My love back and going to write the woxter..
Seo m'anam go raibh séar anois.
Here is my soul, may it be free now..
Tá an gráiteoir seo an-sean.
This speaker is very old.
I bhfad níos sine ná anois, faraor.
Much older than now, alas..
Seo píosa a tháinig i dtír aimsir an bharr.
This is a piece that landed during the harvest time.
Agus nuair a bhí mé i mo dheartháir chailín an-óg,
And when I was my sister's very young brother.
