    Ní ceart uisce solach a comaidh fe dhion an tighe oidhce Dhia Satharn no tiocfaidh na daoine as Ifrinn ar do thoir

    Dhá dtuitfead fork uaith ar an urlaír croicfidh duine eigint lámh leat

    Dhá sgian treasna a ceile ar bordh sín comhara trodha

    Ní cearth gruaidh do caitheamh sa teine mar nuair a geobfá bás tiocfá tair n-ais aris fé na deín

    If your left hand itches it is to be rubbed on wood, and it is sure to be good

    If your right hand itches it is the sign of a shake-hands
