I knae nae Gaelic, but there is a site that will translate it for you for free (they say…)

As far as I know Burns didn’t write about retirement, which is a pretty recent concept, historically. People didn’t really retire in the 18th century – they simply got too old to work.

That said, though, there are a few poems, such as Nature’s Law or Prospect of Death, that you might be able to take a few stanzas from that would work.

I don’t know any Gaelic, but the site below offers to translate english phrases into Gaelic.
As for Robert Burns, he wrote poetry in the 1700s when people didn’t retire – they just got too old to work anymore – so I don’t believe he did. However there are a few of his works such as “On Nature” or “Despondency” that might lend you a few stanzas that would work.
