Fuaireas inné chaithfeá a dhul aníos ag an miseal an uair sin agus ní raibh mé aige ó shin nár fhág sí Diarmaid amach deich bliana.

I got yesterday you would have to go up to the mission then and I haven’t had it since she didn’t leave Diarmaid out for ten years.

Eh

Eh.

Fuaireas aige.

I got it from him..

Agus mé féin agus fear eile, tá sé curtha anois, an fear bocht.

And myself and another man, he is buried now, the poor man..

Ach fuair muid soir agus d'fhan muid go dtí an páirtí Deisigh ach

But we got east and we stayed until the party Fix but.

As seo go mo cheasta, a Mháirtín, istigh insa mbosca.

From here to my knees, Máirtín, inside in the box.

Bhfuil dada ar an dá a dúirt mé?

Is there anything about the two things I said?

leithéide seo gur rud an chéad lá a dúirt mé a tháinig tusa anseo, a dúirt mé.

Such a thing as this, that the very first day you came here, I said...

An chéad dreasáil tú go dona muid, a dúirt mé.

The first time you dressed us badly, I said..

Dúirt tú go mba bouncers dá dtosódh tú ar bunsers muid, a Mháirtín, i mbéal an dorais, a dúirt mé.

You said that we would be bouncers if you started us on bouncers, Máirtín, at the door, I said.

Níor thaitin sé sin liomsa go maith.

I didn't like that very much.

Níor thaitin, níor thaitin, a dúirt mé, ní bouncer a bhí ionam, a dúirt mé, bhí mé.

I didn't like it, I didn't like it, I said, I wasn't a bouncer, I said, I was...

I gcúpla t eile, a dúirt mé, agus fiafrú go minic orm, mar a dúirt mé, fuair mé an tAifreann a bheith i mo Mhamsa, a dúirt mé, agus ní ní thógfainn é, a dúirt mé, agus jab eile nár thaitin, agus níor thaitin aon Mhamsa ariamh liom, a dúirt mé ach oiread.

In another couple of years, I said, and I was often asked, as I said, I found the Mass to be my Mammy, I said, and I wouldn’t take it, I said, and another job I didn’t like, and I never liked any Mammy, I said either.

Nuair a dúirt mé chonaic mé ag déanamh rudaí a dúirt mé nár cheart dó fianna.

When I said I saw him doing things I said deer shouldn't...

Agus, a dúirt mé, níor thaitin sé liomsa, a dúirt mé, an t-ainm sin a ghlaoch orm, a dúirt mé.

And, I said, I didn't like, I said, being called that name, I said.
