Tá

Yes.

Sórt

Sort.

Chaithfidh tú a bheith déanta rud mar sin an bhfuil a fhios agat agus cé aige ar chuala tusa an ceol nó cé uaidh ar thóg tú é bhoil?

You must have done something like that, do you know, and who did you hear the music from or who did you take it from then?

Bhíodh muid siar rua dubh agus bhíodh cineál spórt eile acu chomh maith ann.

We used to go back (there) for blackberries and they had another kind of sport there as well.

Agus ansin bhí poit ag bualadh poirt, an dtuigeann tú?

And then a hangover was playing a tune, do you understand?

Agus bhí go leor daoine thart.

And there were a lot of people around..

Agus bhí siad ag iarraidh a bheith ag foghlaim na poirt a bhí siad a bhualadh agus thuigeadh beirt ar thriúr acu ormsa nuair a bhí an cairdín agam.

And they were trying to learn the tunes they were playing and two or three of them would understand me when I had the accordion.

Bheith

To be.

Agus théadh siad ar feadh daoil an bhfuil a fhios agat ná sin agus mé ag bualadh.

And they would go along the road, you know, and I was knocking...

Iadsan ag feadaíl agus tusa dhá dhá bhualadh dhá bhualadh.

They whistling and you hitting it, hitting it...

Damhsa: 'Sea, 'sea damhladh, 'sea leag bhfoghlaim é.

Dance: 'Yes, yes dance, yes let learning knock it down..

Agus ar ar boscaí ceoil ar ar cairdianta is mó a bhí thart san am sin ba dheas ba dheas fidil ná fliúit ná rud ar bith eile.

And of all the musical instruments of our acquaintances that were around at that time, the fiddle was the nicest, nicer than the flute or anything else.

Ba dheas.

It was nice..

Muise, bhí, fuair cúpla duine anois, bhí fidls acu, bhíodh, ní raibh go leor fliúiteanna go deimhin ach 'siad na rudaí eile le do lámha an dtuigeann tú a bhualadh.

Well, there were, a couple of people now, they had fiddles, there used to be, there weren’t enough flutes indeed but it was the other things with your hands you know, to beat...

An mbíonn?

Is there?/Are there?/Does it be?/Do they be?
