‘Rí na mBréag’ inste ag Peadar Ó Raghallaigh

soir agus siar ó dheas agus ó thuaidh

east and west south and north

agus uair an chloig roimh an ngrian ag dul faoi bhí éire mhór bainte aige

and an hour before the sun went down he had achieved a great success.

agus thit sé marbh ansin

and he fell dead there.

níor thaitin liom a dhath a dhéanamh leis an rud céanna a rinne mé leis an arán bán

I didn't like doing anything with the same thing I did with the white bread.

fuascailt air agus gráinne coirce a chur isteach ina bholg

Release him and put a grain of oats into his stomach.

agus seisean toisiú séideadh anáil isteach ina chluais

and he began to blow breath into his ear.

agus níorbh fhada go dtug mé beo arís é

and it wasn't long until I brought it back to life again.

agus go díreach nuair a bhí sé ag éirí dorcha a bhí éire bheag bainte agat

and just when it was getting dark you had a small piece of Ireland won.

cheangail muid 'chuile ghné den choirce

we connected every aspect of the oats.

agus stop muid é

and we stopped it.

agus rinne muid cruaiche dó

and we made steel for him.

nuair a bhí an chruach déanta bhí sí chomh hard

when the stack was made it was so high

agus gur chaith mé bliain

and that I spent a year

ag dul an bád go dtí na bána tuí

going the boat to the thatched fields

agus lá agus bliain ag dul thart uirthi

and day and year passing over her.
