Notes / Notaí
1. Whatever you do, do NOT shout:’ Down with Ageism !’ (Pé rud a dhéanann tú, NÁ scread ‘Síos leis an t-Aoiseachas !) Ni bhaineann seo le caitheamh anuas ar an dTaoiseach – féach thíos. (Nothing to do with badmouthing An Taoiseach – see below).
2. If you do, this is where you end up. (Má dhéanann tú amhlaidh, críochnoidh tú anseo.).Má cheapann tú go bhfuil droch-chuma ar seo, fan go gcloisfidh tú. (If you think this looks bad wait till you hear). Cuirfear cluasáin ort agus beidh ort deireadh fliuch seachtaine de Stockhausen a fhulaingt. (You will be fitted with headphones and made to endure a wet weekend of Stockhausen).
3 The benches along the promenade in St. Paul’s Bay in Malta, are all painted on both sides in the colours of different nations/ (Ta na binsi feadh na promanáide ag Bá Phol Naofa i Malta péinteáilte i ndathanna naisiún difriú)l.) This is the Irish Flag? (Seo e Brat ma hEreamm? ) Ní hea, seo é Brat anChosta Eabhair). No, this is the Flag of the Ivory Coast.
4. Then THIS is the Irish flag, surely / (SEO e Brat na hEireann, mar sin, cinnte? ) Go sealdach (Provisiaonally). How come? (Cén fáth?). Eist leis The Untonist Times / T.U.T. cois Life in DUPlin . (Listern to The Unionist Times on Liffeyside in DUPlin). ‘T.U.T., T.U.T.sie Pootsie in Ulster, don’t cry. T.U.T.TUT.sie Pootsie, ná bí ag gol in Uladh). We’re gonna put our Glad Rag on Government Buildings ( Táimid chun ár gCifleog Shona a chrochadh o Thithe an Rialtais.) Cén Cifleog Shona/ (Which Glad Rag? ) Listen to the greatest Glove Puppet in DUPlin since Finnegan (Éist leis an puipéad ciotogach, miotogach in DUPln o aimsir Finnegan). Finnegan Woke aka The Taoiseach who wears a T-shirt with the motto: ‘Cuir do lámh chotogach suas Mo Wolfe Toin’. .Féach níos faide o dheas san Afraicc, Pootsie a bhuachail l( Look further south in Africa, Pootsie, boy) Seo leid: Brit Brat , de chineál. (Here’s a hint, a Brit Flag – of sorts). Yon ….Orange Free State? ( An Saostait Oráiste thall?)
And now for the Gnu National Tantrum from Antrim/ Le chéile/ All together: Give us a toot on yer old orange flute, Pootsie !
Seo Libh, canaigi, Amhrán na bhFiann………Shoving Connie around the Green, and Greener for the last time !
