An Chéad Véarsa/The first verse of: Bhíosa Lá ibPortláirge/One Day I Was In Waterford

O do bhíosa lá i bPortláirge/fal dai fal dee fal de dai do dum
Bhí fíon is puins ar bord ann/fal de, etc...
Bhí lán den tí de mhná ann/fal dai, etc...
Agus mise ag ól a sláinte/fal dai, etc...
Ní raibh a muintir sásta/fal dai, etc..
Mar ní rabhadar ach leath-shásta/fal dai, etc...

Attempt at translation:

One day I was in Waterford/fal dai, etc...
There was wine and punch on the table there/fal dai, etc...
There was a housefull of women there/fal dai, etc...
And myself was a-drinking their health/fal dai, etc...
Their folks were not contented/fal dai,etc...
They were somewhat discontented/fal dai, etc...

This might start the ball rolling.
