Turas Siar 229 - Pádraic Ó Maolruaidh as Leitir Fhinín (R.I.P.) agus Pádraic S. Ó Murchú as an gCartúr: ag plé seanfhocla agus seanráite, sneachta vs sreacht’, ceist faoin gcapall, amharc an ghiorria, madadh vs gadhar, an focal “stáid”, an cosán dearg.

Bhí mé ag an mbearna agus bhí geata beag sa mbearna, an dtuigeann tú.

I was at the gap and there was a small gate in the gap, do you understand..

Nach mbeadh daoine

Wouldn't there be people.

Duine a ligean isteach beithígh isteach is amach ann.

Letting a person in, cattle in and out there.

Ach bhí mé ar béal an bhearna agus d'airigh mé go raibh an eit istigh eile agus

But I was at the mouth of the gap and I felt that the other wing was inside as well.

Chrom mé síos ar mo logaide.

I bent down over my fire/log fire.

Agus tháinig sé amach thríd an mbearna agus tá sé isteach anocht.

And it came out through the gap and it is in tonight.

By dad.

By dad..

Agus gheafáil a bheith

And to be able to get.

'Sea.

Scanraigh sé, ní raibh a fhios ag roinn na mbráta céard a bhí uirthi agus thosaigh sé ag scréachaíl.

He got frightened, the blanket department didn’t know what was on her and he started screaming.

Oh.

Bhí an madadh ag teacht i ndiaidh chomh toibreann is a d'fhéad sé agus tháinig an madadh agus mise níor imear is saoil an madadh é a bhaint díom.

The dog was coming after as fast as he could and the dog came and I did not escape and the dog nearly managed to catch me.

Hea!

Hey!.

Ach choinnigh mé greim ar chaoi ar bith agus caithfidh mé uaim an an an madadh ar chaoi ar bith.

But I held on anyway and I must do without the dog anyway..

Agus bhí buachaill eile ag teacht anoir i mo dhiaidh uirthi.

And there was another boy coming east after me towards her.
