well, i'd made it half way (before hitting a dead spot), and would like to see this to the (bittersweet) end, so, any help would be well received.

Anois tá iarracht eile....

Mar [a] bheadh cineál magnet ann,
it used to be like a magnetic attraction (níl barúil agam!)
Is ábhar iontais aigne dhom,
and astonishing to my mind
An chaoi ar fhág sí an rata,
the way she left
Is léim sí i mo threo.
and jumped towards me.

frc, aon duine,
más é bhur dtoil é

Mar [a] bheadh cineál magnet ann,
it used to be like a magnetic attraction (níl barúil agam!)

As if there were a kind of magnet

Is ábhar iontais aigne dhom,
and astonishing to my mind

It is a matter of astonishment for me

An chaoi ar fhág sí an rata,
the way she left

The way she left the rafter (reading rata as rachta)

Is léim sí i mo threo.
and jumped towards me.

Exactly.

Fuair mé an pacáiste. GRMMA! Tá do pheannaireacht go hiontach.

"Fuair mé an pacáiste. GRMMA! Tá do pheannaireacht go hiontach."

btw, tá 'dreollan' eile (nua)ag an siopa (agus beidh cat ansin go mhoill!)

anois.....

An rud is annamh is iontach,
the thing that is rare is beautiful
Mar a léim sé ina thintreach,
like his lightning jump
Thug sé sceilp dá chrúb di,
he slapped her w/ his paw
'S ní raibh fhios aici níos mó.
and she knew no more

lit., how he jumped like lightening

he slapped her w/ his paw
'S ní raibh fhios aici níos mó.

Sin agat é.

grma!
an bhfaca tú cat dathannach fós?

Chonaic, agus tá sé go hálainn. Chuir sé na cait pheinteáilte atá le feiceáil anseo i cuimhne dom!

anois...

Ciúnas binn ón éinín,
sweet silence from the little bird (??)
'S gan inti ach méid mo mhéirín,
and she's but a bit of my meddling (??)
Mar [a] bheadh éinín Dé ann,
the little bird will be w/ God
Is í imithe suas ar Neamh. [imí]
she's gone up to heaven

fóir orm!!

'S gan inti ach méid mo mhéirín,

and she only the size of my little finger

like a bird who was Gods

and she gone up to heaven

grma a aonghuis!

a dhonncha
Fuair mé na chártaí poist...an-spéisiúil! is do lámhscríbhneoireacht an-dheas! anois, na focail "ar an taobh eile"..... 'ms. rawlinson' nó senchas mor, b'fhéidir. ach, nil me cinnte.

Gheobhaidh tú anseo iad:

http://www.sengoidelc.com/node/80

tá sin ar fheabhas!
agus
tuigim thú, ach, cárb as e? cen áit an foinse?
Cad é an foinse as a dtáinig an píosa sin? bhfuil sin do scríbhneoireacht?? (ní focail, ach peannaireacht)

Thóg mé cruth na litreacha ón lámhscríbinn darbh ainm Lebar an Núachongbála agus rinne mé "gearr agus greamaigh" leo.

(Tugtar Lebar Laignech / Leabhar Laighneach / Book of Leinster ar an LS sin anois.)

"gearr agus greamaigh"
is maith an abairt sin!
"Tugtar Le..."
beidh mé ar lorg.

anois, faoi dheireadh!

Sin é críoch mo scéilín,
that's the end of my story

Scéilín faoi mo dhreoilín,
the story about my little wren

An chaoi ar ith an cat í
the way the cat ate her

'S nár fhág sé a'm ach cnámh.
and he leaving me but a bone

quote:

'S nár fhág sé a'm ach cnámh.
and he leaving me but a bone

That's the sense, but literally the verb is past tense: "And he left me just a bone."

Tá súil agam gur bhain tú sult as an scéilín seo. Spreag sé thú lena lán pictiúr nua a dhéanamh, ar aon nós!

Aguisín: beidh mé as baile agus as líne an mhí seo chugainn.

"Tá súil agam gur bhain tú sult as an scéilín seo. Spreag sé thú lena lán pictiúr nua a dhéanamh, ar aon nós!"

go deimhin!
tá roinnt smaointe eile agam fós.

grMma as do chuidiúsa go léir!

"beidh mé as..."
go n-éirí an bóthar leat!
agus go mbuailimid le chéile arís....
bhfuil fios agat na lirici "amhran na exhaust pipes" ?
that'll give me something to work on!
