He doesn’t judge
Ní thugann sé breith
He has a vision of a happy family
Tá fís aige de theaghlach sona
He is looking for a woman that is able to do the traditions of the house
Tá sé ag lorg bean atá in ann traidisiúnta an tí a dhéanamh
He must have had the disappointment of the world when he understood that his wife was not wanting the same things
Caithfidh go raibh díomá an domhain air nuair a thuig sé nach raibh na rudaí céanna ag teastáil óna bhean
He thought that they would all be happy
Cheap sé go mbéidís go léir sásta
He wants a traditional marriage
Teastaíonn pósadh traidisiúnta uaidh
He would like to stay in his local area
Ba mhaith leis a bheith ag fanacht ina cheantar dúchais

An bhean
There is a contrast between two understandings of the marriage in the poem
Tá codarsnacht idir dhá thuiscint ar an bpósadh sa dán
They came to the understanding that they were very different people
Tháinig siad ar an tuiscint gur daoine an-difriúila iad
They had to separate
Bhí orthu scaradh
They must separate from each other
Tá orthu scarúint óna chéile
They probably had a lot of affection for each other
Is dócha go raibh an-chion acu ar a chéile
They were not suitable for each other at all
Ní raibh siad oiriúnach dá chéile ar chor ar bith
This couple were not able to come to a compromise
Ni raibh an lanúin seo in ann teacht ar chomhréiteach

Reader
Léitheoir
There is a sudden ending to the poem because there was a sudden ending to the marriage
Bíonn críoch tobann leis an dán mar bhí críoch tobann leis an bpósadh
She wasn’t ready to settle down
Ní raibh sí réidh le socrú síos
She preferred to continue on working and going on holidays regularly
B’fhearr léi leanúint ar aghaidh ag obair agus ag dul ar laethanta saoire go minic
There are obstacles and irreconcilable differences between the couple all the time
Bíonn constaicí agus difríochtaí doréitithe idir an lanúin an t-am ar fad
