Colann gan Cheann

nuair a bhí muid istigh ag scalladh agus fear a lasadh a phíopa

when we were inside scalding and a man lighting his pipe.

céard atá istigh ar an gcarraig

What is inside the rock?

ach thug mé féin thart mo shúil ar bhuail bith

but I myself looked around at anything that struck.

agus ba fhuinneoga sa lá sin

and there were windows on that day.

ach má sea

but if so

ach chaill muid oscar obair landáil déarfá phortach chlóirthigh

but we lost an oscar working on a landing, you might say, in a bog of printing.

gur fear a bhí ina chloigeann ar bith anois

that there was a man in his head at all now.

an tráthnóna sin gur bhain muid amach

That evening that we reached.

ag iarraidh buaidhe dó

trying to win for him
