mban mhéid a bheadh gnáthiarann
women as much as would be ordinary iron
abair cuid acu cúig acra talaimh b'fhéidir deich n-acra
say some of them five acres of land maybe ten acres
agus ar ndóigh an talamh ansin tá an chuid is mó de bocht go maith
and of course the land there is mostly quite poor
mórán tairbhe a bhaint as cuid mhaith den talamh sin
to derive much benefit from a good deal of that land

you then people leaving who are too heavy here
'nois tá tá tá tá sé trom tá
now it is it is it is it is heavy it is
le abair ó thosach an chogaidh
since the start of the war
roimhe sin ní raibh sé chomh chomh trom
before that it wasn't as heavy
