'Séard a bhí snionn na bpéist léi mar a chuala mise, an dtuigeann tú?

What was troubling her, as I heard it, do you understand?

Sreangán beag gheofá píosa sreangán beag bhuel.

A little string you’d get, a little piece of string, well...

Would you have membership?

Tony, chuala tusa a' caint ar maoin na bpéist.
