Help me translate this children's song in Irish

CJMurf · 2023-06-08 15:33:09

I stumbled across this wonderful song for children and need help translating. (apologies I am a new user and cannot add full link) (wwwdot)soundcloud.com/muscrai/an-leipreachain Should be easy as it is a children's song and I am only missing one verse. I got the below from Google but you will hear there is an extra verse…

Should be easy as it is a children's song and I am only missing one verse.

I got the below from Google but you will hear there is an extra verse in there.

Ar mo thaisteal dom aon oíche amháin is mé ag dul síos an gleann
A chonaic mé an leipreachán is é faoi scath na gcrann
Bhí tic-tac-tic ar a bhróig aige ‘s an bhróigín ar a ghlúin
Ó, thosaigh mé ag magadh faoi – ach bhí seisean ag magadh fúm.
‘Dia dhuit, a fhírín bhig,’ ars mé, ‘sín chugam do phróca óir’
‘Tá an t-ór,’ ar sé, ‘ag an tsí-bhean úd ina seasamh ar an ród.’
Go héadtrom ciúin do dhruideas leis – ó, bhí sé agam dar liom!
Ó, thosaigh mé ag magadh faoi – ach bhí seisean ag magadh fúm.
Ó, thosaigh mé ag magadh faoi – ach bhí seisean ag magadh fúm.
