I am trying to translate the poem, "Na Cealla Beaga" and am having problems. It goes:
Gealach na gcoinleach
os cionn na gCealla Beaga
cuireann a ceol na hiascairí a chodladh
I haven't learned tenses or conjugations, so I can only find a word here or there, but nothing that makes any sense. Please help.
GRMA. |

The moon of the straws (i.e. the moon at the time when the wheat etc has been reaped)
above Killybegs
Her music puts the fishermen to sleep. |

Ní raibh Béarla ró mhaith agam riamh. Ná talmhaíocht ach oiread. |

Ná bí buartha. Coinnigh leis agus tiocfaidh sé. ;-)
Is deacair an teanga é, ach is fiú a fhoghlaim! |
