Codarsnacht/Teama: Fear Flashcards
He man is a traditional, old fashioned person
Duine traidisiúnta seanfhaiseanta atá ina fhear
He would like to be married ‘He desired a woman’
Ba mhaith leis a bheith pósta ‘Shantaigh sé bean’
However, he wanted a traditional marriage
Pósadh traidisiúnta a bhí uaidh áfach
He has certain opinions about life and marriage
Bhí tuairimí cinnte aige faoin saol a bheadh aige agus é pósta
He wanted:
to live in his native area ‘in the birds nest’
to have a family ‘to raise a family’
and to have a wife at home looking after the kids ‘beside the fire’
Theastaigh uaidh:
a bheith ina chónaí ina cheantar dúchais ‘i nead a chine,’
clann a bheith aige ‘i dtógail chlainne,’
agus go mbeadh a bhean sa bhaile ag tabhairt aire dóibh , ‘ar leac a thine’
He accepted that the happy life with a wife and a family ‘aiteas is greann’
Ghlac sé leis go mbeadh saol sona sásta aige dá mbeadh bean agus clann aige ‘aiteas is greann’.
There is only word in the first verse talking about love - and maybe it’s a problem of the heart or conflict.
Níl ach focal amháin sa chéad vearsa ag caint faoi ghrá - gean - agus b’fhéidir go bhfuil croí na faidhbé na coimhlinte ann
All the man wants is to raise a family in the town, but he doesn’t care about the wife’s wants
Bhí a mhianta go léir dírithe ar an gclann agus ar an mbaile, ach ní raibha mianta dírithe ar a bhean
He thinks about the things that he wants instead of the woman in the marriage
Smaoiníonn sé ar na rúdaí gur mhaith leis in ionad na mná a phós sé
