Locations
Abair ag dul amach ar an bhfarraige drochlá.
Going out on the sea on a bad day..
Ná a d'fhágfadh an baile drochlá.
That would not leave the town in a bad way..
An té a d'fhágadh an baile inniu.
The one who left home today..
Ná níor chuir sé grúm ar an bhfallaí.
Nor did he put a mark on the wall.
Bhí an té a ghabhadh na farraige ar maidin.
The one who was caught by the sea in the morning...
Níor chuir sé lámh ar an bhfallaí.
He did not put a hand on the wall.
Ina leithéide d'áit inniu.
In such a place today..
Níor chuir sé grún ina bhallaí.
He did not put soot on his walls.
