The Couple
An Lánúin
Comprehensive but negative
Cuimsitheach ach diúltach
Affection for eachother
An-chlon acu ar chéile
They weren’t suited for eachother
Nach raibh siad oiriúnach dá cheile
Difficulties and obstacles
Deacrachtaí agus constaicí
Unfortunately
Ar an drochuair
The couple couldn’t come up with a solution
Ní raibh an lánúin in Ann teacht ar réiteach
They couldn’t overcome their problems
Níor éirigh leo na deacrachtaí a sharú
They didn’t have another choice
Ní raibh an dara rogha acu
Old fashioned
Seanfhaiseanta
He’s really looking forward to married life
Bhí sé ag tnúth mór le saol pósta
Cosy warm house
Teach te teolaí
Full of happy children
Lán de páistí sona
Responsible
Curamaí
Able to fulfil the traditions of the house
In ann traidisúnta an tí a chomhlíonadh
Working together
Comh-oibriú le chéile

Ag dáileadh an údarájs eartarthu
She thought she’d have an input into the decisions of the house

Materialism
Ábharachas
Wealthy
Rachmasach

Ainm in airde
It’s clear that she’s a modern woman
Is léir gur bean nua-aimseatha í
She wanted to make her own choices
Bhí sí ag iarradh a roghanna féin a dhéanamh
The love that they had wasn’t as strong as the desires they had
Ní raibh an grá chomh láidir leis na mianta a bhí acu
Homely
Tiriúil
Comfort
Compord
Peacefulness
Suaimheas
Nice cosy house
Teach dead teolaí
She’d like to be independent and be able to make her own choices in life
Ba mhaith leis a mbean a bheith neamhspleách agus a bheith áblta a roghanna féin a dhéanamh
Her desires are directed at herself
Tá a mianta dírithe uirthi féin
Greed
Saint
Selfishness
Leithleas
There’s no talk about a family or a man
Nil aon faint faoi chlann ná faoin bhfear
There’s a strong contrast between the wishes of the two
Tá codarsnacht láidir idir mianta na beirte
He would like to be in his own birth place
Ba mhaith leis a bheith ina áit dhúcais féin
Tradition is v important to the man, more important than his own love
Tá traidisiún an-tábhachtach don fhear, níos tábhachtaí ná an grá féin
On her own terms
Ar a tearmaí féin
She’s not happy to be dependent on her husband and staying at home looking after her husband and children
Níl sí sásta a bheith spléach ar a fear chéile agus fanacht sa bhaile ag tabhairt aire dá fear agus a bpáistí
She would like to travel
Ba mhaith léi dul ag taisteal
Musically
Ceolchúiseach
Simple language
Friotal simplí
They both want love
Shantaigh an beirt acu grá
Disappointment
Díoma
There’s not a lot of talk about love in the poem
Ní Morán cainte faoi ghrá sa dán seo
She’s looking for riches and status
Tá saibhreas agus stádus uaithi
When this couple married, it’s clear tgat they were very attracted to one another’s
Nuair a phós an lánúin seo, is dócha go raibh an-chion acu ar a chéile
He chose the wrong woman!
Roghnaigh sé an bhean mícheart
