The English version of this to this same air.
I’m Mommy’s little helper
I’m only 5 years old
I’ve lots and lots of work to do
I do it when I’m told
I sometimes rock the baby
While Mommy does the beds
And then I get my little stool and sing to sleepy heads
This irish translation goes as follows: ( the first verse is missing)
It doesnt really rhyme or have the meter in English.
Perhaps someone could provide a better translation?
1. Cailín beag is ea mise is [táim] cúig bliana d’aois. Bíonn obair crua ag Mamaí, bíonn sí traochta anois is arís.
Oh, I am a little girl,I'm only five years old. Mammy works hard. She’s exhausted now and again.
2. Déanann Mamaí ciste agus bogaim an cliabhán agus suím ar mo stóilín beag ag ithe canta maith aráin
Mammy makes a cake and I rock the cradle and I sit on my little stool eating a good chunk of bread.
3. Do cheannaíos ar an sráidín tae is siúcra bán. Do chuireas iad sa chiseán chun iad a thógaint [abhaile] slán.
I bought on the street tea and white sugar. I put them in the basket to take them [home] safe.
4. Ar an róidín thiteas is ghearras mo ghlúinín. Do choimeádas greim ar an gciseán is níor chailleas aon ghráinín.
On the wee road I fell and I cut my little knee. I kept a grip on the basket and I didn’t lose any little grain [of sugar].
5. Bím ag insint scéalta ag aer an chaitín bán a chuaigh amach sna coillte agus d’fhan sé ann le fán.
I tell stories about the wonder of the little white cat that went out into the woods and stayed there wandering.
6. Ina diaidh a tháinig Eileen ag lorg an gcaitín is fuair sí é sa deireadh. Is é a bhí i leataobh.
After her came Eileen searching for the little cat and she found it in the end. It was over.
