Go fadó fadó é.

Long, long ago it was...

Ach ní dhéanfaidh mé aon cheol anois.

But I won't make any music now..

Ní chasaim aon cheol anois nach gcasann, tá sé blianta fada tugtha suas agam, creidim go mbeidh sé tugtha suas agam fhada le Joe Danro go ndéanfaidh mé ag tíocht ar ais, mar a déarfá, bhí sé sin tamall fada.

I don't play any music now that I don't play, I have given it up for many years, I believe it will be given up by me for as long as Joe Danro will make me come back, as you might say, that was a long time...

Nach deas san.

Isn't that nice..

Imithe sa bpictiúr.

Gone in the picture..

Bhíos ag beidh.

I was at a feast..

Ach tá mé ag ceapadh go mbeidh mise chomh fada ná níos faide b'fhéidir b'fhéidir nuair a d'éireoinn seanduine anois agus nuair a d'éireoinn amach san áit seo.

But I think that I will be as far or maybe even farther, maybe, maybe when I become an old person now and when I go out to this place...

Cé cén áit is mó a mbífeá ag casadh do cheoil, an mbífeá ag casadh thall thall in Eas?

Where do you mostly play your music, do you play over in Ennis?

Chas mé beagán, chas mé.

I turned a little, I turned...

Beagán sna tithe ósta sin ach ní raibh mórán ceoltóirí ann bhfaighfeá aon trioblóid, an bhfuil a fhios agat?

A few in those pubs but there weren’t many musicians there you’d find any trouble, do you know?

Ní raibh mórán.

There wasn't much..

Maoin

Property.

'Sea.

Yes..

Agus ní raibh aon chead bualadh agat istigh sna tithe ósta ná sna pubs ansin. Ní thabharfaí cead ceoil dhuit. Áh ní thabharfaí oíche amach thú.

And you weren’t allowed to dance inside the inns or the pubs there. You wouldn’t be allowed music. Ah, you wouldn’t be allowed a night out..

Thabharfaí cead.

Permission would be given..
