Neamhchuid Chlann agus a Phota Óir

tá a fhios agat tá píosaí talaimh nuair a bhí na buachalláin bhuí fásann téagartha chathair áiteacha eile

You know there are pieces of land where the yellow ragwort grows thickly in other city places.

ach bhí fear ag dul aníos ón gcladach

but there was a man coming up from the shore.

agus mhothaigh sé geal ceomhar chois bua

and he felt bright misty beside victory.

síos

Down.

ag tarraingt ar an gceol

drawing on the music

ach chonaic sé cailín beag ina shuí chois beo

but he saw a little girl sitting by a tree.

agus é ag deasú bróg di

"and he mending a shoe for her."

agus ní bheinn leath term

and I wouldn't be half term.

tá pota óir agam sa leaba seo faoi mbuachalán buí

I have a pot of gold in this bed under the ragwort.

thuas ansin

up there

mé ar an bhfear beag sin

I am on that little man.

ar eolas anois nach dtig leis imeacht

known now that he cannot leave.
