Turas Siar 319 - Cuairt a thug Máirtín Mac Donnchadha ar Mhicí Joe Ó Conghóile, Ros Dumhach.

Théadh sí isteach.

She used to go in.

Bheadh sí istigh ar an teallach.

She would be inside at the hearth.

Bhí bhí sea.

There was, there was, yes..

Fear

Man.

Cuireann sé i gcuimhne dhom bhíodh scéal ag m'athair faoi fhear ar an mbaile s'againne a raibh cráin aige.

It reminds me that my father used to have a story about a man in our town who had a crane.

Agus tháinig fear isteach ar cuairt aige an oíche seo agus bhíodar ag caint ar comhrá chearnáin is dóigh agus dúirt fear an tí gob í an go mba í an cloch a ba mhó ar an phaidrín le haghaidh lá arna mhárach ná fáinne a chur sa gcráin agus bhí an chráin sínte ar an teallach agus í ag fanacht.

And a man came to visit him that night and they were talking, having a conversation as usual I suppose, and the man of the house said that the biggest concern for the next day was to put a ring in the pig, and the pig was stretched out on the hearth waiting.

Faoi chroith.

Shaking..

Agus dúirt an leaid óg a tháinig isteach.

And the young lad who came in said...

Go bhfuil an fáinne agat.

That you have the ring..

Óh, tá, adeir sé, tá sé ar an matal ansin os cionn na tine.

Oh, yes, he says, it’s on the mantel there above the fire.

Bhoil, má tá anois adeir sé, cuirfidh mise fáinne inti más maith leat.

Well, if that's what he says now, I'll put a ring on her if you like..

Theas

South.

B'uafásach an jab fáinne, cráin fáinne oscailte a bhíodh iontub, nach ea?

It was a terrible ring job, an open ring clamp it used to be, wasn't it?

Nach mise atá dhá ndíol sa siopa againn, ní fada.

Am I not the one selling them in our shop, it won’t be long..

'Sea.

Yes..
