Mo Ghrá-sa Flashcards
The description of the man begins on a negative note
Tosaíonn an cur síos ar an bhfear le nóta diúltach
He didn’t have smooth hair but hair alike barbed wire.
Níl gruaig mhín air ach tá gruaig cosúil me sreang dheilgneach air
It’s clear from the description that he isn’t very good looking
Is léir ón gcur síos nach fear dathúil é
The poet puts big emphasis on his faults
Cuireann an file béim mhór ar a chuid lochtanna
She was doing a satire on old love poems
Deanann an file é seo chun aoir a dhéanamh ar na seandánta grá
But the poet praised his personality
Ach molann an file pearsantacht a grá
The apples are a metaphor that represents the necessities of life and the vines represent the joys of life
Is meafar iad na húlla a sheasann do riachtanais na beatha agus seasann na Capra fíniúna do shónna an tsaoil
