Na Cruaigh Sí

chuaigh

went

bheith ag caitheamh solais ar

shining a light on

nach mbáighfí é

that he would not be drowned.

go snámhfadh amuigh faoin aer é

that it would swim out in the air.

sheas bheas sé beo

He stood while he will be alive.

ba curaí sí airgid air ag iarraidh a dtabhairt abhaile ar ndóighe

He was eager to bring them home, of course.

taispeánadh a bhí ann

It was a show.

ach chomh beag gur fear

but as little as a man.

a raibh an caipín sonais air

who had the cap of happiness on him.

bhí siad cáitín

they were kittens.

ní fhaca á deargadh a bhí a gcuid cosa nite

did not see their feet being washed red

ní fhaca éadair co bhaile chaoi

I didn't see a single person at home.
