An tAthair Mánus Mac Suibhne

is córaide a mheas do chuid feola

it is more correct to consider your flesh.

taobh istigh de bhliain ó inniu

within a year from today

agus

will ask

tá cnoc thuas ansin

there is a hill up there.

Achill

bhí mé i mo ghasúr

I was a boy.

agus fuair an fear seo suas

and this man got up.

agus tháinig an sneachta air agus chaill sé a bhealach

and the snow came upon him and he lost his way.

agus ní raibh a fhios cén bhail a bhí air

and it was not known what condition he was in.

ná go raibh an chnámh oíche leis na maidí anuas

that the night bone was not with the sticks down.

d'éirigh leis an tathair mánas a chrochadh

The father managed to hang the mane.

an fear a dhoirt an deoch

the man who spilled the drink

ar an tsagart

on the priest

lú a lámh suas go dtí an ghualainn

raised his hand up to the shoulder.
