Turas Siar 394 - Pádhraic S. Ó Murchú as an gCartúr agus Máirtín Mac Donnchadha, RnaG: An chaoi a n-úsáidtí an cholainn le rudaí a thomhas.

Ba sin é bun do choise go bhfuil sé chomh gar don mhiosúr agus a thig leat a fháil.

That was the base of your leg so that it is as close to the measure as you can get.

Agus deineadh choiscéim.

And a footstep was made...

Chonaic tú, chonaic tú fear anois ab ea tis tis talamh.

You saw, you saw a man now, is it tis tis ground..

'Sea.

Yes..

Is píosa talamh caithfidh sé coiscéim caithfidh tú coiscéim.

It's a piece of land, it must take a step, you must take a step..

Coiscéim chrua a chaith dhom a bheith ag siúl bóthar faoi dheif ag siúl coiscéim chrua.

A hard step I had to take, walking a road in a hurry, walking a hard step...

Sea

Yes.

Ach tháinig, d'fheicfeá fear anois istigh i mbogach.

But he came, you would see a man now in a bog..

Ná istigh i dtalamh bog ná taobh portaigh agus an chaoi bheadh sé ag caitheamh ábhóga móra.

Don’t go into soft ground or the edge of a bog and the way it would be throwing up big clods.

B'fhéidir go mbeadh trí troithe go leith i gcuid acu.

Some of them might be three and a half feet.

Ach

But.

Ag iarraidh leat é sin a thabhairt sé síos?

Do you want to take that down?

Ach is í an choiscéim.

But it is the footstep...

Is í an choiscéim láidir ná an choiscéim choiscéim chrua.

The strong step is the hard step.

Agus céard a bheadh ansin slat a bheadh ansin trí troigh?

And what would be there then but a rod that would be there three feet?
