Scéal Chlainne Lir

thainic bean álainn go dtí é

a beautiful woman came to him

agus dúirt sí leis

and she said to him

a theacht léithe héin.

to come with herself

agus

and

sin é nuair a smaoinigh sé air héin

that's when he thought to himself

ní rabh beannaithe aige

he hadn't blessed

ach leath an oileáin

but half the island

agus chaith sé an chré a bhí ina láimh

and he threw the clay that was in his hand

leis an gCaorthalach

at the Mother of the Devil

‘sí a bhí ann

for 'twas her that was in it

Agus scoilt sí an charraic

And she split the rock

ag imeacht dhuithe

going away from her

Agus tá an charraic

And the rock is

scoiltí ansin

split there

le feiceál ag duine ar bith inniubh.

to be seen by anyone today
