Turas Siar 216 - Michael Ó Murchú (RIP) as an gCartúr. Sa bpíosa seo deir sé 'Dán an Toir'. Leo Corduff a rinne an taifead. Bhí Tommy Ó Tuathail as Port an Chlóidh i láthair chomh maith.

'Sea, scar an t-anam leis an gcolainn léinn.

Yes, the soul parted from the learned body.

Bheith ansin na céadtaí bliain eile ar an tsaol seo, adeir sé, nuair beag beannach na mbocht.

To be there for hundreds more years in this life, he says, when the poor are scarcely blessed..

Go mórmhór ar an tsaol.

Very much in the world..

Agus nuair a bhí mise ar an taobh seo adeir sé, bhí mé ann go haoibhinn aerach.

And when I was on this side, he says, I was there so delightfully, cheerfully..

Ní mhiste liom, adeir sé, sochar ar bith a tharraingt orm féin.

I don't mind, he says, getting any benefit for myself.

Tá mé in othar mhór adeir sé le íoc inniu.

I am a big patient he says to pay today.

Mé féin go hAifrinn Domhnaigh, adeir sé.

Myself at Sunday Mass, he says.

Níor labharfaí an tsagairt a bhínn ag caoineadh.

The priest I used to mourn would not be spoken of.

Scic sa gáirí faoi gach óige corp díosa as mo choinne.

A giggle in the laughter about every youthful body of God except for me..

Níorbh fhíor mheasa liom, adeir sé, an bhinn mhór a bhí i mo dhiaidh sa mbaile.

I didn’t really care, he says, about the big cartload that was after me at home.

Marcaíocht adeir sé ard le haghaidh clam agus féasta.

Riding, he says, is high for clam and feast.

Níor chuir mé suim ar bith sa méid sin, adeir sé, go bhfaca mé gaislí an bháis a chruinniú.

I took no interest in that at all, he says, until I saw the shadow of death gathering.

Taobh ó thuaidh, a deir sé, ag tíocht ina mhórshaol dubha inniu.

To the north, he says, coming into its great dark world today..

Chur an Chéasta, a deir sé, i measc na n-ainmheal.

He put the Crucified, he says, among the animals.

An Mhaighdean Mhór ab ea an Aifreann.

The Mass was the Great Virgin.
