ngreamaí fadó

long ago

bhí sí dó ní raibh an dochtúir alan an bhairseach mná a' dtuigeann tú

she was two the doctor alan wasn't the woman's bitch do you understand

cailleach ar ndóigh ní raibh cineál lámha aici ar an obair

witch of course she didn't have a kind of hands on the work

ach ní raibh rath ar an abhainn

but the river was not successful

d'fhágfaí istigh in ina shuí ar chloch an bhaic

would be left sitting on the milestone stone

bhí bhean a bhí sa leaba le bás ní raibh aon mhaith le déanamh amhlaidh

There was a woman who was in bed with death, there was no good to be done thus.

ach fuair sí bás

but she died

i suppose mí ní éigin é b'fhéidir sé seachtainí

I suppose it's something like a month, maybe six weeks.

an fear a bhí ina shuí ar chloch an bhaic

the man who was sitting on the milestone

bhí sé i mbaile uí fhiacháin

He was in Ballina.

a dhéanfadh beithíoch bhí beithíoch le díol aige

that would make a beast he had a beast for sale

agus go díreach uair sa lá ar shráid an mhargaidh shiúil an fear seo aige

and exactly once a day on the market street this man walked with him

agus chraith sé lámh leis

and he shook hands with him
