Rí na mBréag

fuascailt air agus gráinne coirce a chur isteach ina bholg

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

agus seisean 'tá thú séideadh anáil isteach ina chluais

and he 'you're blowing breath into his ear.

agus níorbh fhada go dtug mé beo arís é

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

agus go díreach nuair a bhí sé ag éirí dorcha a bhí éire bheag baint a bhí againn

and just when it was getting dark, we had a small bit of Ireland.

cheangail muid 'chuile ghné den choirce agus stop muid é

We connected every aspect of the oats and stopped it.

agus rinne muid cluais dó

and we made an ear 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 ann an bád go dtí na bua na gcat tí

going there in a boat to the victory of the house cats.

agus lá agus bliain ag dul thart uirthi

and day and year passing by her.

bhí go maith ansin

It was good then.

leag mé dréimire le taobh na cruaiche

I laid a ladder against the stack.

agus fuair coileach suas an dréimire

and a rooster got up the ladder.

go ndeachaigh sé go barr na cruaiche agus bhí an chruach chomh hard

that he went to the top of the stack and the stack was so high

agus go raibh an coileach ag piocadh na réaltaí lena gob

and the rooster was pecking the stars with its beak.
