it was made (pret pass) this    as_a   gift   for_the my  tenth  head-year

n'itener co   mmo ndadi en yen lor    nustoer navi,=20
a_trip   with my  dad   in one of_the our     fishing-boats=20

per dinvorter-mis

we  in_a one of_the our     boats we  went(impf)

col      nnave istont       y   varren le deck,=20
with_the boat  stand (pres) the men    of ten

[Curious turn of phrase, but the boat is what's important for the
fishermen; and thus why the men are in a secondary position.  You can
always find more lads willing to work.]

ceque  sempoer y   linnes doi    mori ys   dabonevens=20
whowho always  the nets   to_the sea  they put-to (pres)

[Not a typo: ceque is a sort of intensive form.]

& then  they the nets   to_the boat  they haul-to (pres)

e dois   linnef saes     phaisses co lorre. =20

[Yep.  Borrowed from Irish.]

       sudont       mult. =20
(they) sweat (pres) much

il  covarru ke   l'oummoersolle  ys tent ys la wente   do nois ys
the man     that the-shade-thing he has  he the breeze to us   he=20

domboneus;=20
to-us-put (pret)

[I agree with Andrew.  This is very strange behaviour.  They're probably
Bloody Saxons, or some other miscellaneous Foreigner. :) ]

mais n'ay         speck    yn nummra nen ngwenta perry   varronib. =20
but  not is-there one-iota a  shade  nor breeze  for_the men

werscue da-h-ay          calores,     sont feleich depos la mannu=20

the oars    putting-to (pres part)

nonck nus al     jeti  nus cuine=E9mus,=20
now   we  to_the jetty we  come (pres)

[Borrowed from English.  The cu- on the verb is a bit of a stumper,
though; can't figure out why it's there, rather than the usual w-.]

e in acel        moment cadu        la llouvea  =20
& in that (very) moment fell (pret) the rain=20

e buasot          il  Taranos.
& hollered (pret) the Lord Taranos

[As mentionned before, there's no word for "thunder", so it's the thunder
god yelling or stumping about.]

           ne  lleisi-el          outh     li  meu dadi,=20
(the rain) not pleased_him (pret) one-drop the my  dad=20
