agus fir ag imeacht le ar báiníní ag iascaireacht b'fhéidir go bhfuil mé mícheart ach
and men going off with our little boats fishing maybe I am wrong but.
Sin é an chaoi a bhfaca mé na phictiúir.
That is how I saw the pictures.
Tá sin an-suimiúil anois, agus chaithfinn a rá, ag breathnú ar na pictiúir mé féin, agus ag breathnú ar aon, aon uair a bhreathnaím ar áiteacha a bhfuil a lorg tithe agus mar sin, cloisim i mo chluasa na daoine ag caint. Nach iontach an rud é?
That is very interesting now, and I would have to say, looking at the pictures myself and any time I look at places that have traces of houses and so on, I hear in my ears people saying isn’t it a wonderful thing...
Agus nach aisteach an rud é, a Mháirtín, tháinig mé anois ag fear as Béal an Átha nuair a théimse go Baile Átha Cliath suas ar an traein.
And isn’t it a strange thing, Máirtín, I now come to a man from Ballina when I go up to Dublin on the train.
Bím ag faire ar seantithe a bheas goirt againn sea abróidh mé mo chroí féin.
I watch old houses that we will have fields, yes I will say my own heart..
Meas tú cén sórt clann a bhí ansin? Tá siad caillte anois. Tá lorg a láimh ann.
What type of family do you think was there? A trace of their hand is there.
Ach dul ar ais ag pictiúirí Ser.
But going back to Ser's pictures..
Ó tá sé tá sé thar barr.
Oh since it is, it is excellent..
Mar d'abródh siad anseo fadó, tá sé thar miosúr.
As they used to say here long ago, it's beyond measure.
