Meu irmãozinho dorme até muito tarde. Eu acordo cedo porque sou demais!

Fanann mo dheartháir beag sa leaba go mall ar maidin. Éirím go luath, mar tá mise thar barr!

My little brother sleeps very late. I wake early, because I am great!


Eu sou daquelas que deixa o sol entrar.

Is mise an duine a ligeann an ghrian isteach.

I am the one who lets in the sun.


“Você é minha estrela-da-manhã,” diz Ma.

“Is tú réalta na maidine,” arsa Mam.

“You’re my morning star,” says Ma.


Eu me banho. Não preciso de ajuda alguma.

Ním mé féin, níl aon chabhair uaim.

I wash myself, I don’t need any help.


Eu posso suportar água fria e sabonete azul fedorento.

Ní miste liom an t-uisce fuar agus an ghallúnach ghorm bhréan.

I can cope with cold water and blue smelly soap.


Ma me lembra, “Não esqueça dos dentes.” Eu respondo, “Nunca, eu não!”

Cuireann Mam i gcuimhne dom, “Ná déan dearmad ar na fiacla.” “Ní dhéanfaidh mé, cinnte!” a fhreagraím.

Ma reminds, “Don’t forget teeth.” I reply, “Never, not me!”


Depois de me lavar, cumprimento o vovô e a titia e desejo que eles tenham um bom dia.

Agus mé nite, tugaim beannachtaí an lae do Dhaideo agus Aintín.

After washing, I greet Grandpa and Auntie, and wish them a good day.


Então me visto, “Sou grande agora, Ma,” digo.

Ansin cuirim orm mo chuid éadaí, “Tá mé mór anois, a Mham,” a deirim.

Then I dress myself, “I’m big now Ma,” I say.


Consigo fechar meus botões e amarrar meus sapatos.

Is féidir liom na cnaipí a dhúnadh agus na búclaí a cheangal.

I can close my buttons and buckle my shoes.


E conto todas as novidades da escola para o meu irmãozinho.

Déanaim cinnte go bhfuil nuacht na scoile ar eolas ag mo dheartháir beag.

And I make sure little brother knows all the school news.


Na aula, dou o meu melhor.

Sa rang déanaim mo dhícheall le gach uile rud.

In class I do my best in every way.


Eu faço tudo isso todos os dias. Mas a coisa que mais gosto é brincar e brincar!

Déanaim na rudaí seo gach lá. Ach an rud is fearr liom ná súgradh agus spraoi!

I do all these good things every day. But the thing I like most, is to play and play!
