This poem deals with love | Baineann an dán seo le grá |
The poet gives a mocking description of the man in the poem | Déanann an file cur síos magúil ar an bhfear sa dán |
According to the poet, her beloved is not like a flower growing in a garden | Dar leis an bhfile, níl a grá-sa cosúil le bláth ag fás sa ghairdín |
He is not like a daisy, but daisies will grow from his ears when he is dead | Níl sé cosúil le nóinín, ach fásfaidh nóiníní as a chluasa nuair a bheidh sé marbh |
His eyes are not like a musical stream | Níl a shúile cosúil le sruthán ceolmhar |
His eyes are too close together | Tá a shúile róghar ('róchóngarach') dá chéile |
His hair is like barbed wire, just like the dark woman of Shakespeare's sonnets | Tá a chuid gruaige cosúil le wire deilgní, mar bhean dhubh Shakespeare! |
The man is not perfect, but the poet does not care | Níl an fear foirfe, ach is cuma leis an bhfile |
He is kind and he gives her little gifts | Tá sé cineálta agus tugann sé bronntanais bheaga di |
The poem is about real love. According to the poet, appearances are not important | Baineann an dán le grá réadúil. Dar leis an bhfile, níl cuma an duine tábhachtach |
