    “A Heaga - my dear, gasúr - boy.”

    Share Share Post
    A heaga = my dear.
    gasúr = boy
    The cow has no "MEAS" on her food

    I don't know what kind of a "CUAILLE" you are

    You're a right "GIRSEACH" OR "GASÚR"

    "IS MAIRG" I ever reared you

    "A THAISCIDH MHILIS" don't do that.

    "CEAP" THE COWS
    Dear but you are "BHEAG A MHAITH"

    Take your toes out of the "GRÍOSACH"

    That's when the "RUILE BUACH" started

    You're a right "STACA CHUN MHARGAIDH"

    Sgidíní = small potatoes
    chadaidh = small fellow.
    Brochán = porridge.
    Goislín = gosling.
