An ghaoth aduaidh bíonn sí crua,

Is cuireann sí gruaim ar dhaoine,

 

An ghaoth aneas bíonn sí tais,

Is cuireann sí rath ar shíolta,

 

An ghaoth anoir bíonn sí tirim,

Is cuireann sí sioc istoíche,

 

An ghaoth aniar bíonn sí fial,

Is cuireann sí iasc i líonta.

 

The north wind is hard,

And it depresses people,

The south wind is damp,

And it makes seeds successful,

The east wind is dry,

And it produces frost at night,

The west wind is favourable,

And it puts fish in nets.
