Bhoil, as Tuar Mhic ídigh muid í, adeir sé.

Well, we're from Tourmakeady, he says..

agus

and.

Eh

Eh.

Tá muid bródúil asat.

We are proud of you.

Ceithre

Four.

Bhíodh

Used to be.

Agus bhí triúr nó ceathrar acu ins an lé bhí neart Gaeilge acu féin chomh maith.

And there were three or four of them in the class who had plenty of Irish themselves as well.

Na teangacha maire Gaeilge acu fair play.

The languages survive, they have Irish, fair play..

Agus d'inis siad a gcuid ainmneacha dhom.

And they told me their names.

Agus an dtuigeann tú bhí mé chomh, mar déarfá, tógtha ard agus mo chuid folacha fataí agus go bhfuair siad dearmad déanta aige.

And do you understand I was so, as you might say, lifted up and my potato pits and that they forgot to do it..

Dúirt siad: "Gabhfaidh muid síos lá éigin agat," adeir siad.

They said: "We will come down to you some day," they said.

Agus tá aithne mhaith agam ar Thomás Ó Máille fair play.

And I know Tomás Ó Máille well, fair play..

Thuas ansin i dTuar Mhic í.

Up there in Tuar Mhic Í...

Yes.

Bhí sé i mo Mhárta agam fada ó shin ó bhí sé anseo.

It was in my March long ago since it was here..
