Tá dha leithscéal agam. Ní raibh fhios agam gurbh é mo chas agus bhí mé a foghlaim Gaolainn (variation of Gaeilge) i gCeanada. I know that it's only been twenty and three hours, but here's my translation:

A black horse (or steed) running with the current.

Not in Ireland nor in County Mayo

A Man staying/sitting? on its back.

Níl in Éirinn ná i gContae Mhaigh Eo
Fear a d'fhanfadh ar a mhuin

There is not a man in Ireland nor in county Mayo who could remain on it's back.

Tá Fearn gar dó, ach tá níos mó ná ceann amháin den fhreagra ann.

Mac, dhá leithscéal, sin scéal! Muna bhfuil tomhas agat dúinn, inis scéal!

Tá Fearn níos gaire do. Uisce de shórt atá i gceist.
Níl Maigh Eo tabhachtach don fhreagra.

An traein í?

Aontaim, a Mhic. Cuimhnigh seo: Each dubh = capall iarinn agus an sruth = deatach atá ag teacht amach uait.
Feicim traein agus níl fear a d'fhanfadh ar a mhuin.

I'm not sure; is Iron Horse limited to American colloquy?
Most of those old steam engines were black.

Ní maith é an duine a bheith leis féin.

A Phádraig,

Yeah, that sounds good to me. Maybe there are two correct answers, like:

Q. What's the square root of 4?

A. 2 or -2

(Just kidding Aonghus, I know you said above that it is a thing of nature.)

Muc dubh a tugtar ar thraein abhus.

Ceann de na tairngreachtaí a rinne Colmcille, agus rinne sé cuid mhór, ná go rithfeadh Muc Dhubh fríd sléibhte Thír Chonaill agus í ag séideadh toit as a gaosán, nó a srón.


(http://homepage.eircom.net/~leslie/railway/)

Ach ag rith le sruth = running with the current

Ní "ag rith le sruth as" atá i gceist.

Tabharfaidh mé lá amháin eile daoibh!

Ceart go leor, a h-Aonghus. Dúirt tú a tabharfá lá amháin eile dúinn, agus tá an lá sa mhullach orainn.

Ní an capall iarinn agus ní an mhuc dubh (cé go is maith liom an mhuc.)

Cad é, a chara?

Fríd a deirtear in áit tríd ó thuaidh.

Eas atá i gceist san tomhas.

Nach mór an díol trua tú!
Tabhar ceann níos fear dúinn!

(Is féidir le eas a bheith dubh nuair atá an sruth láidir, cré faoi, agus gan mórán cúr ar an uisce)
