|
|
|
An seanchas gearr, an seanchas is fearr
|
The shortest wisdom is the best wisdom
|
|
An scéal is giorra is milse i mbéal
|
The shortest story is sweetest in the mouth
|
|
An chuid is lú an chuid is fearr
|
The smallest part is the best part
|
|
Focal nó dhó má thaithníonn lig dó
|
A word or two if practicing allows it
|
|

|
Scéal gearr greanmhar ná scéal fada fann
|
A short humorous story or a long heavy story
|
|
Droch-scéal fada nó scéal maith lán
|
A long bad story or a story full of good
|
|
Scéal deas goirid an scéalín is fearr
|
A nice short story is the best short story
|
|
An iomarca le rá, ná déan port de
|
Too much to say, make a tune of it
|
|
|
|
|
Chomh domhain leis an fharraige, dubh le gual
|
As deep as the ocean, black as coal
|
|
Chomh bodhar le bata, chomh bocht leis an deor
|
As deft as a poet, as poor as a tear
|
|
Chomh díreach le feagh, chomh dubh leis a sméar
|
As straight as the distance, as black as a blackberry
|
|
Chomh gasta le giorrfhia, chomh bocht leis an deor
|
As fast as a hare, as poor as a tear
|
|
|
|
|
(Curfá)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
An seanchas gearr, an seanchas is fearr
|
The shortest wisdom is the best wisdom
|
|
An scéal is giorra is milse i mbéal
|
The shortest story is sweetest in the mouth
|
|
An chuid is lú an chuid is fearr
|
The smallest part is the best part
|
|
Focal nó dhó má thaithníonn lig dó
|
A word or two if practicing allows it
|
|
|
|
|
(Curfá...)
