Bhí na mbá, bhí plúr a' tíocht fadó ann.
There were the boats, there was flour coming long ago there..
Agus ní cheapfá iad.
And you wouldn't think of them..
Agus Fionn nach éadach an watsy dhó faoin chaith peiliúr é le leaba dó fionnach aon uile shórt dhó.
And Fionn, isn’t it a strange thing for him that he was given a feather bed, every kind of comfort for him…
Tá mise anois a' gabháil a' cuir isteach
I am now going to interrupt.
Gur scríobh go bhfáiscigh mé an bac, is dóigh.
That I wrote that I squeezed the obstacle, I suppose..
Seo bhainis fáisceadh an mhacsty.
Here is the wedding squeezing of the macsty..
D'airigh sibh caint ariamh air.
You ever heard talk of it..
Mura bhfáisceann tú boxy seo anois.
If you don't squeeze this boxy now...
Séard a bheinn a ndéanamh.
What I would be doing...
Ní bhfaigh aon ní aon boxty nádúir a bheith a'inn. Bheinn a dhéanamh Pancate Boxty.
Nothing would get any natural boxty to be in us. I would be making Pancake Boxty.
