An mbeidh uisce i gcurach ná mbád ná iasc?
Will there be water in a currach or a boat or in a fish?
Thugadh siad baslach air sin chomh maith dá bhfaigheadh siad tá baslach mór éisc libh.
They called that a "baslach" as well if they got it—a big lump of fish with you.
Ná sin tá baslach mór uisce ansin.
There is a big puddle of water there.
Rud a bheadh fliuch nó tada.
Something that would be wet or nothing..
Agus taoscán ansin dhá mbeadh leathloch ná trí cheathrú loch.
And a draining then if there were half a lake or three quarters of a lake..
Níor mhaith do dhuine mar sin taoscán ná baslach mhóna a fháil.
A person like that would not want a drop or a basket of turf.
you know bás Loch Uisce fúithi. Is minic a bhíodh sé ann go deimhin. Bhíodh sí dhá ach ar ndóigh an dream a bhíodh dhá tabhairt a bhíodh dhá cur chun farraige.
You know the death of Loch Uisce about her. He was often there indeed. She used to be there too but of course it was the people who used to bring her who used to send her to sea.
Bhíodh sí, chaithfeadh sí a bheith tirim de bharr, bhí siad ag iarraidh í a bheith chomh héadrom agus a tháinig leo.
She used to be, she would have to be dry because of it, they wanted her to be as light as they could make her.
Bhí sé sin ann ach m'anam go mbíodh amanta go mbíodh na fóda, na fóda fada fuara crua in uachtar agus na caoráin bhoga bhoga bhriste.
That was there but, by my soul, sometimes there would be the sods, the long, cold, hard sods on top and the soft, soft, broken bog underneath.
I móin bhán ní raibh aon árthach air.
On the white bog there was no vessel on it..
