Agus chuir mé in airde.
And I put up...
Cearca agus Coileach
Hens and Rooster.

Sure, you might put up a dozen scores.
Ach tá tá an laghdú sin tarraingthe orthu cinnte siúráilte.
But that reduction has certainly been drawn on them for sure.
Sea, ach leis an gcearc rí nó go mór mór leis an gcoileach is minic gur túisce a chloisfeá é an áit a d'fheicfeá é.

Ach ar ar chuala tú iad sin le deireanaí ar chor ar bith?
But have you heard them at all recently?
Á ní níor chuala mé níor chuala mé sin le fada fada an lá.
Ah no, I haven't heard that in a long, long time.
Agus rud eile scanraigh sé nuair a bheas sé ar an chnoic.
And another thing, he got scared when he was on the hills.
