There are quite a few resources/discussions on the translation of their lyrics from Gaeilge to English, but are there any native/fluent speakers who could translate some of their English lyrics for people like me who are learning the language? Specifically a line from Smugglers and Scholars that I can't get out of my head:

"You think it's all poetry and clovers when it's raincoats and police landrovers"

Even more specifically, just "poetry and clovers" in that context. I've got an idea for some art but need to ensure it's grammatically correct. Would it be:

"dánta agus seamair"

or

"filíocht agus seamair"

or something else entirely?

GRMA!
