Turas Siar 189 - Pádraic Ó Maolruaidh as Leitir Fhinnín, ceantar Thuar Mhic Éadaigh, ag caint le Máirtín Mac Donnchadha, RnaG.

Do ghlaofaí dhá mbeadh an Aire ag fáil bother nó rud éigin.

You would be called if the Minister was getting into trouble or something.

Más ea.

If so... .

Feictear dhom gur den airgead d'fhéadfá a rá go mbíodh.

It seems to me that for the money you could say that there used to be...

Shílfeá gur meas shílfeá gur Bow a bheifeá tar éis gloiní é a chur do chluasa ná bheifeá gan aon charr.

You’d think it was respect, you’d think it was Bow you’d be after putting glasses on your ears rather than being without any car.

Bhoil 'Sin é sin é a feicim dadaí na seandaoine ag rá bhídís á úsáid dhá mbeifeá ag fáil bodhar.

Well, that's it, that's what I see the old people saying they used to use if you were going deaf...

An mbídís á chuimilt ar bhróga nó ar ar ar leathar, ar mheilteanna leathair nó tada mar sin?

Would they be rubbing it on shoes or on leather, on leather soles or anything like that?

Níor chuala mé gnaithe dhá dhéanamh dhó le haghaidh na chineál sin, a Mháirtín.

I never heard of business being done for him for that kind, Mairtín.

Sin an rud.

That's the thing.. .

Ach nach iontach nach tráthúil go raibh sé istigh ag do mháthair le haghaidh na ceirde agus nach iontach an an bhí Máire Máire Uí Chaoimh an lá cheana as an gCloch Mhóir in Acaill. Bhí sí ag rá an gandal a bhí thiar nuair a bhí sí ina gasúr. Bhí sí ag rá shílfeá go raibh dhá shlat de mhuineál air. B'fhacais go raibh an muineál chomh fada air agus bhíodh an oiread faitíos aici roimhe ach bhí údar faitís aici i ndáiríre ná raibh?

But isn’t it wonderful, isn’t it timely that your mother was in for the craft, and isn’t it wonderful that Máire Uí Chaoimh was there the other day from Cloch Mhóir in Achill. She was saying about the gander that was out the back when she was a child. She was saying you’d think he had two rods of a neck on him. You’d see that his neck was so long and she used to be so afraid of him, but she really had reason to be afraid, didn’t she?

Ó d'fhéadfá a rá go raibh údar faitíos ag imirt.

You could say that there was reason to be afraid at play.

Tá mise ag rá go dtáinig an bóthar oileán gar dom má tá gan dul.

I am saying that the island road came close to me if there is no going..

Géar, drochaimidí ann.

Sharp, bad weather there..

'Sea.

Yes.. .
