Tá mé ocht inniu, arsa an tOchtapas
Is tá mo chairde ag teacht le haghaidh tae
Is breá liom bheith ocht, arsa an tOchtapas,
Beidh an chóisir againn ar a sé.

Tá mé ocht inniu, arsa an tOchtapas
Is tá mo chairde ag teacht le haghaidh tae,
Is breá liom bheith ocht, arsa an tOchtapas,
Ba sheachtapas mé inné!

I’m eight today said the Octupus,
and my friends will come around for some tea,
it’s great to be eight said the Octopus,
The party will start at six.

I am 8 today said the 8-opus
and my friends will come around for some tea,
Aye it’s great to be eight said the 8-opus
Yesterday I was a 7-opus.

Well if that isn’t just about the most adorable thing I’ve ever read!
