Turas Siar 254 - Pádraic S. Ó Murchú as an gCartúr: “An Bán ina Gheal”. Ón gclár Parlaimint Mhaigh Eo le Máirtín Mac Donnchadha, RnaG.

Tá sé gealú, a déarfas duine éigin, bhuel, bhí an ball bán.

It is brightening, someone will say, well, the wall was white..

Sea

Yes.

Leis an mball bán a thosaíonn.

It starts with the white ball..

Agus deireann siad bánú an lae freisin, nach ndeireann?

And they say the whitening of the day as well, don't they?

Abraíonn abraíonn ach

Says says but.

An ball bán a dabaíodh na seandaoine anseo agus go fóill déarfadh sí ní an ball bán bhí an ball bán.

The white ball that the old people here drowned and still she would say no the white ball was the white ball..

Pé rud uaidh a thosaíonns an ball bán.

Whatever the white ball starts with..

Sin le gealladh an lae nuair a ngeallachann.

That is with the promise of the day when they promise..

Céard faoi do léine, a Phádraic, dá mbeadh sí?

What about your shirt, Pádraic, if it were?.

Ó sea.

Oh yes..

Do léine dúnadh anois abair.

Your shirt is closed now, say..

Ó sea.

Oh yes..

Cén céard a thabharfá uirthi?

What would you call it?

Tá cuimhne ag go leor daoine, tá cuimhne againn muid beag fadó fadó.

Many people remember, we remember being small long, long ago..

Sin ar a dhul siar sna seascaidí an uair dheiridh creidim a bhí siad ann.

That was back in the sixties the last time I believe they were there.
