Tháinig daoine.

People came..

Ar an mballa thoir mar a tugann sé mballa thuaidh.

On the east wall where it meets the north wall..

Bhí fhios againn ansin go raibh, go raibh an báthadh déanta.

We knew then that, that the drowning had happened..

Ach bhí sé

But it was.

Lá arna mhárach.

The following day..

Bhí stoirm ann.

There was a storm.

Ach bhí sé dhá lá ina dhiaidh an uair sin fios.

But it was two days after that time then before (they) knew..

Cé cé báthadh?

Who was drowned?

Tuigim sea.

I understand, yes.

Bhí sibh ag fanacht go dtiocfadh daoine ann.

You were waiting for people to come there.

dtiocfadh daoine go dtiocfaí

People would come so that people would come.

Ní dheachaigh siad go dtí an tír, cuireadh na corraí amach.

They did not go to the country, the herons were sent out.

Ó sea sea.

Oh yes yes..

Bhí an dá rud ann. Bhí bhí

Both things were there. They were, they were.

Bhí an dá rud ann bhí bhí daoine ar an oileán ó thuaidh agus bhíodar scoite amach uaibh agus ansin bhí sibh ag fanacht le scéal ón Mór.

Both things were there: there were people on the island to the north and they were cut off from you, and then you were waiting for news from the Mainland.
