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.

Bhoil, níl fhios agam ach by dad an méid caoirigh a chonaic mise riamh, ní fhaca mé ag ólán uisce, níl fhios agam an ólann.

Well, I don't know but by dad the amount of sheep I ever saw, I never saw (them) drinking water, I don't know if they drink...

Céard déarfá Phádraig?

What would you say, Pádraig?

Bhaineadar uisce.

They drew water.

Ceart go leor ach

Alright but.

Beag a dhéananns iad, bhfuil fhios agat, ach cúpla cúpla lá i mbéil is déarfaidh siad leis.

They do little, you know, but after just a couple of days talking, they'll say it to him..

Sea

Yes.

Ná

No.

Fanacht i gcoir.

Waiting in a case..

Ólann sé sin é anois.

He drinks that now.

An Gabhar

The Goat.

Ní fhaca mé an gabhar ag ól uisce riamh cinnte.

I never saw the goat drinking water for sure.

fhaca chonaic mé ag ól a chuid uisce féin anois agus ní fhaca mé ag ól aon uisce eile é.

I saw him drinking his own water now and I did not see him drinking any other water.

úd.

those

Is measa ná sin ach ansin tá an seanfhocal eile ann, a Phádraic, ag cur na gcaoire thar an abhainn.

Worse than that, but then there is the other proverb, Pádraic, sending the sheep over the river.

Nach bhfuil?

Isn't it?
