Irish

English (machine translation)

What a surprise was the people,
Oh, worn lamps candles held,
This the electric lighting in indoor,
And you might see the bug that is small enough.

Oh, it's some time since the beginning of this Scheme,
And many of the homes still without light,
Annai bulb is justified that the cost is made,
But the wire it to tharraingeos green ín din.

Stop the thunder, which is difficult to do,
As Christ's grace is still strong,
If a good man sings or legal Geoghegan Rest,
Ín The green wire this up forever.

Galway dtéinn through two or three milking King east,
And coming east around three Great Oranmore,
Chloisfinn not a word about this green ín wire,
Or that this Scheme started inside in Leitir Mor.

And if the Pope sings with the ESB,
Ín The green wire this up forever,
Dig the walled fields is measuring the homes,
That stróinse Many might see a hole.

But there's no good for me to have two duplicate or two to tell,
For the people will not believe me yet scéalsa,
Let your man yon and leabhairín alongside,
Collecting the rent in question which was going twice.

Well I am positive in relation to be sure,
Soon mourned that the major oil,
As any such work would be done,
Painting the house or milking the cows,
If you decide to go the low-light memory,
And we would be in the memory of the great oil.

The two broke the wire, since, below in Limerick,
Not good if the piece is from Leitir Mor,
Where would the dark throughout the country,
We would promote a memory of the big oil.
