Ach nuair a tháinig muid go dtí béal lé mór bhí sé chomh dorcha agus nach bhfeicfeadh an oileán ar bith.
But when we came to the big bay mouth it was so dark that you couldn't see the island at all.
Dúirt muid le chéile go mb'fhearr dúinn.
We said together that it would be better for us...
Taobh thiar de Thor Duibhleáin
Behind Thor Duibhleáin.
Atá siar aneas dhá dhoimhleán mór.
It is back to the south of two great hollows.
Bhí solas an soir ansin dhá dtreorú.
The light of the east was there guiding them.
Ach bhí an oíche ag éirí garbh.
But the night was getting rough..
Bhí cúrsaí insa tseol againn.
We had things going our way.
