Turas Siar 167 - Micí Joe Ó Conghóile, Ros Dumhach, nach maireann, faoi agallamh ag Máirtín Mac Donnchadha : Leoraís agus báid, an cnúdán agus an cnádán.

M'anam go n-abraíodh siad, go raibh sé go deas le n-ithe ach ní raibh aon diabhal dhó mórán.

My soul that they would say, that it was nice to eat but there wasn't a devil of much of it.

Bhí crúdán.

There was a crowd...

Eh

Eh. If you are finding the dialect difficult to understand (North Connacht Irish), there is sometimes a standard Irish version available here also:.

Crúdán liath a thaispeáint agus crúdán dearg.

Show a grey heron and a red heron.

Bheadh crúdóg dearg comharthaí níos fearr, an bhfuil a fhios agat, le n-ithe?

A red claw would be better signs, you know, to eat?

Á muise fleidh beag á muise.

Ah indeed a little feast ah indeed..

Cleite bán.

White feather.
