QuestionAnswer

The Spailpín is talking in this poem Tá an Spailpín Fánach ag caint sa dán seo.
He has been working as a Spailpín for a long time, he says Tá sé ag obair mar Spailpín le fada an lá, dar leis féin
He gets up early every morning Éiríonn sé go luath gach maidin
He gets sick often Bíonn sé tinn go minic
But now, according to the poet, there is a change coming Ach anois, dar leis an bhfile, tá athrú ag teacht
The Spailpín will go fighting with the croppies Rachaidh an file ag troid leis na croppies
He will be fighting with the pike and the pole Beidh sé ag troid leis an gcleith agus leis an bpíc
The Spailpín used to work in Clonmel, Tipperary, Carraig on Suir and Callan Bhíodh an file ag obair i gCluain Meala, i dTiobraid Árann, i gCarraig na Súire, agus i gCallann
He used to cut hay in Carriag on Suir Bhíodh sé ag baint an fhéir i gCarraig na Súire
He used to work with his flail in Calann Bhíodh sé ag obair leis an súiste i gCallainn
The people used to mock him in Thurlas Bhíodh na daoine ag magadh faoi i nDurlas
He went to the hiring fairs in Cashel, and he hated it Chuaigh sé go margadh na saoire i gCaiseal, agus b'fhuath leis é
He sat up against a wall, like a miserable creature Bhí sé ina shuí cois balla cosúil le scaoinse
The farmers came on their horses Tháinig na feirmeoirí móra ar a gcapall
They asked was he hired Chuir siad an cheist an raibh sé hireálta
The Spailpín followed the farmers on foot Lean an Spailpín na feirmeoirí ag siúl
