Turas Siar 312 - Pádraic S. Ó Murchú agus Máirtín Mac Donnchadha ag plé cuid den tseanchas a bhaineann leis an amhrán iomráiteach “Cúirt Bhaile Nua”.

Anois tá Pádraic Ó Murchú linn agus tá muid le beagán cíoradh a dhéanamh ar cheann de amhráin mhóra Chonamara a bhaineann le thuras an t-amhrán Cúirt Bhaile Nua. Cén chaoi a bhfuil tusa ar maidin, a Phádraic?

Now we have Pádraic Ó Murchú with us and we are going to have a little discussion about one of the great songs of Connemara that relates to the journey of the song Cúirt Bhaile Nua. How are you this morning, Pádraic?

Cén áit go díreach a bhfuil Cúirt Bhaile Nua?

Where exactly is Newtown Court?

'S é an áit go díreach a bhfuil sí anois tá sí crosbhóthar a bhailiú mar a deir siad.

The place where she is now is exactly a crossroads, as they say.

Nuair a bheas tú ar do bhealach

When you are on your way.

Ó Theach Phobail Chorráin

From the Corrán Community House.

Aníos go dtí an crosbhóthar.

Up to the crossroads..

In áit a dhul ina theach léime.

Instead of going to his jumping house..

Sin é an bóthar ba Bóthar na Duibh.

That is the road that was Bóthar na Duibh.

Bhuel

Well.

Thimpeall.

Around..

Leathchéad slat.

Fifty yards..

Suas ón gcrosbhóthar.

Up from the crossroads..

I dtreo na hEachléime

Towards Eachléim.

Tá ardán ansin.

There is a platform there..

Dhá sheanbhalla ná dhá phíosa de sheanbhalla ar gach aon taobh den

Two old walls or two pieces of old wall on each side of it.
