Turas Siar 247 - Micheál Seosamh Ó Heimhrín as an Eachléim ag caint le Seán Ó hÉalaí ar an gclár ‘Sé Do Bheatha. Beannacht Dé leofa beirt.

Bhí bó ceangailte thíos i dtóin an tí.

There was a cow tied down at the back of the house.

Ach

But.

Ar dtús nuair a chuaigh mé ag iarraidh cineál náire air.

At first when I went to ask, he was kind of embarrassed..

Tae a réiteach dhó féin ná tada ach faoi cheann seachtain nó dhó.

Making tea for himself is nothing, only in a week or two..

Bhíodh sé ag réiteach tae ó shin agus mar sin ach tá cuimhne mhaith agam air théadh sé síos as an oiread sin í agus

He used to make tea since then and so on but I remember well he would go down because of so much of it and.

Chaithfeadh.

Would have to..

Théadh sé ag crúca tae síos an tasma.

He used to go for a cup of tea down the road.

Agus ansin bhí an bhó ceangail sí, dánfadh sí agus

And then the cow was tied, she would sing and.

Théadh sé síos agus líofadh sé an bhó isteach sa muga.

He would go down and he would milk the cow into the mug.

Agus d'ólfadh sé é sin agus

And he would drink that and.

tú ag caint cailleadh ansin tá cúpla bliain ó shin agus bhí sé os cionn cheithre scór go leith óh anois ní raibh mórán ansin ach

You talking about a death there a couple of years ago and it was over eighty-five years ago oh now there wasn’t much then but.

Ach bhí.

But there was...

Bhí an tsláinte aige.

He had health.

Nach aisteach an rud é?

Isn't it a strange thing?

Nach aisteach an rud é chomh maith?

Isn't it a strange thing as well?
