Colscaradh

Shantaigh sé bean

i nead a chine,

faoiseamh is gean

ar leac a thine,

aiteas is greann

i dtógáil chlainne.

Shantaigh sí fear

is taobh den bhríste,

dídean is searc

is leath den chíste,

saoire thar lear

is meas na mílte.

Thángthas ar réiteach.

Scaradar.

English translation of the poem 'Colscaradh':

Divorce

He desired a woman

In the nest of his kin,

Ease and affection

At the hearth of the fire,

Pleasantness and fun

In the rearing of children.

She desired a man

And a side of the trousers,

Shelter and love

And half of the wealth,

A holiday abroad

And the respect of thousands.

A solution was come to.

They separated.
