Pota óir a bhí ann bhí an pota lán le ór.
It was a pot of gold, the pot was full of gold.
Ar an taobh eile den leath.
On the other side of the half..
Agus chuir sé aníos pota eile óir.
And he put up another pot of gold.
Leagan atá sa gcomhrá agus sa gcaint ariamh ó shin.
A version that has been in conversation and speech ever since.
Dhá ndéarfadh duine éigin dhá gcasfaí rud éigin ort ná dá bhfaighfeá rud éigin.
If someone were to say it, if something were thrown at you, or if you were to get something...
Agus b'fhéidir go mbeifeá ag leagan amach go mbeidh ceann eile mar é.
And maybe you would be planning that there will be another one like it.
Ná rud éigin ní b'fhearr ná thart san áit chéanna.
Not something better than around in the same place..
Ghabhfá ag cuartú agus déarfá leat féin.
You would go searching and you would say to yourself...
M'anam nach fearr an taobh sin ná an taobh eile den tum.
My soul, that side is no better than the other side of the ditch.
Agus b'fhéidir go n-éireodh leat agus go bhfaighfeá ceann eile mar aon ná b'fhéidir
And maybe you would succeed and you would get another one as well, or maybe not.
