is cuimhin liom cúpla bliain ó shin bhí mé ag caint le fear fear gur rugadh
I remember a couple of years ago I was talking to a man who was born
mac óg atá ann
He is a young son.
agus mhair mé nuaíochta
and I lived innovation
agus dúirt sé dúirt sé

uaill chaointe in iarthar le cianta
Wailing in the west for ages
pobal líonmhar á thógaint chun na báid imirce a líonadh
Building a populous community to fill the emigration boats
agus na tithe tréigthe mar chomhartha
and the abandoned houses as a sign
go bhfuil an bonn phobail ag dul i laghad
that the community base is decreasing
