An Spailpín Fánach Flashcards
The Spailpín’s hard life of slavery
Saol crua sclábhúil an spailpín
The theme of politics and poverty mixed with the life of the spailpín
Téama na polaitíochta agus an bhochtanais fite fuaite le saol an spailpín
At the end of the 18th/ start of the 19th century
Ah deireadh an ochtú haois / tús an naoiú haois déag
English in power
Sasanaigh i gcumhacht
The penal laws in practice
Na péindlíthe i bhfeidhm
The catholic’s didn’t have any rights
Ní raibh ceart a ar both ah na caitlicigh
Work as spailpíns
Obair mar spailpíní
Struggling
Ah streachailt
They didn’t have their own farm so they had to go from place to place
Ní raibh feirm acu féin agus mar sin bhí orthu dul ó áit go háit
The United irish
Na hÉireannaigh Aontaithe
Rising
Éirí amach
They didn’t have any respect
Ní raibh meas madra
Big farmers on their horses
Feirmeoirí móra ar a gcapaill
The metre of the poem w
Meadaracht an dáin- meadaracht an amhráin- béim ar na gutaí aiceanta ach níl patrún foirfe es aww
It was a disrespectful term
Ba théarma dímheasa é
He worked on a penny a day
D’oibreaodh ar phingin sa lá
His clothes and his speal
A chuid éadaí agus an speal
Hard life
Saol dian
Rising early in the morning
Ag éirí go moch ar maidin
He harvests grass and corn
Baineann sé féar agus arbhar
Boasting that he’s better
Ag maíomh go bhfuil sé níos fearr
He does his best in his work
Déanann sé a dhícheall ina chuid oibre
At the hiring markets
Ag na margaí híreála
The disrespect really affects the spailpín
Goilleann an dímheas seo go mór ar an spailpín
Contrast between the spailpíns life and the life of the farmers
Codarsnacht idir saol an spailpín agus saol na mbodairí
Health in danger
Sláinte I mbaol
People looking down on him
Daoine ag féachaint anuas air
Respect for himself
Mess aige air féin
Reason of pride is because he’s better
Cúis bhróid é go bhfuil sé níos fearr
Ready to fight with the croppies
Réidh trois leis na croppies
Lack of frédom
Easpa saoirse
