An Seanduine ('The Old Man')
All the comedy inherent in the tale of a young woman persuaded to marry a much older male. Here's a sample from the translated lyrics: "If you marry an old man, you'll marry a useless man, he'll throw his clothes in front of you on the stairs; coming on to morning he'll be complaining with feebleness, and late in the afternoon he'll be playing merrily."
Comhairle a fuaireasa amuigh ar an mbóthar Ó rógaire sagairt an seanduine a phósadh Ach ba chuma leis siúd ach go méadóinn a phóca Is go mbeinn fad a mhairfinn ag brath ar na comharsainn
Chorus (after each verse): Ó dheara 'sheanduine, leatsa ní gheobhadsa Ó dheara 'sheanduine, loscadh is dó ort Ó dheara 'sheanduine, leatsa ní gheobhadsa Is dá mbeinnse i mbéal dorais ná beirimse beo ort
Chuasa go Corcaigh ag triall ar ghléas tórraimh Píopaí tobac agus cláracha comhrann Ar mo theacht dom abhaile go tinn tuirseach brónach Cá bhfaighinnse mo 'sheanduine ach ag róstadh muicfheola
Dá bhfaighinnse mo 'sheanduine báite i bpoll móna e A chosa bheith briste is a chnámha a bheith leonta Do thabharfainn abhaile é is do dhéanfainn é a thórramh Is do shiúllóinn amach leis na buachaillí óga
Má phósainn tú an seanduine, pósfaidh tú claidhaire Fágfaidh sé a bhalcaisí romhat ar a staighre A déanamh ar maidean beidh sé ag cnáimhseáil le claidhreacht Is siar sa tráthnóna beidh ag seimint go meidhreach
Phósas an seanduine, is orm bhí díchéille Dheineas an méid sin ar chomhairle mo ghaolta Chuas abhaile leis faraoir an scéal sin Is déiríos ar maidin is bfhearr liom an t-éag liom
Ó dheara 'sheanduine, leatsa ní gheobhadsa Ó dheara 'sheanduine, loscadh is dó ort Ó dheara 'sheanduine, leatsa ní gheobhadsa Is cúpla Domhnach a chuirfidh fén bhfód thú

Whats astounding gaelicnicu is that if you listen to ancient Irish and Hebrew they sound very very close.They even buried their dead in similar matter. And worshiped on High Hills.There is a theory that we Irish may be desendants of Israelite diaspora

Speaking as an old granny, the song offers very good advice. ;-)
