irish made by tadhg . . .

is é an bás é
féach siod é an gruagach
gualainn ar ghualainn

keep abreast the rank
this is the hairy person
who made the sunshine

puhuruhuru
upane kaupane
ka mate ora

bhuel is an tsamhradh é
tá mé anseo arís ach

I should practice more

although i haven't
been doing much in the way

is cuma leis an intinn
