tá fíor-ghaeltacht arís
there is a true Gaeltacht again
ceantar sléibhteach móinteach farraige
mountainous moorland sea area
ceantar lom gortach
barren hungry area
a thugann dúshlán an duine bheatha a bhaint as
that challenges a person to make a living from
theip ar a lán sa chogadh dian in aghaidh an tsléibhe
many failed in the tough war against the mountain
d'éiríodar agus d'imíodar
they rose and they left
agus níor chás léi féin le n-imeacht
and she did not mind leaving
cé mhéad míle duine a d'imigh as an gceantar seo le céad bliain anuas
How many thousand people have left this area in the past hundred years?
le caoga bliain anuas
over the past fifty years
fíor-shaibhreas na tíre
The true wealth of the country
daoine nach raibh an dá theanga acu ach glanghaeilge mhaigh eo
people who did not have both languages but pure Mayo Irish
