Jeaic ar Scoil

Bronn ort féin éide, go bpriocfaidh sceacha na léine

put on your uniform, the shirt will prick

A mboladh leathair ina anlann agat

Their leather smells like a sauce to you

D'aithníos le huaibhreacht do chrógacht

I was proud when I saw your bravery

Lena shúilibh donna ar leathadh le hiontas

with his brown eyes wide with wonder

Tá sé sé mbliana d'aois

he is six years old

go dtugfainn leathshúil fén gcuirtín

watched from behind the curtain
