Agus cén damhsaí a bhíodh sibh a dhéanamh san am sin?
And what dances did you use to do at that time?
Chuile chineál ó chuile chineál ó Fox Pops bhí quicksteps agus iad sin uilig.
Every kind from every kind from Fox Pops there were quicksteps and all those..
Ach ba chuma sa Joe cén damhsa a bhí ann, bhí chuile dhuine amuigh ar an urlár, bhí ó bhí fan sea ach ansin.
But Joe didn’t care what dance it was, everyone was out on the floor, there was, oh there was stay here but then...
Leag muid súil ar a chéile i gceart i dtosach ach
We looked at each other properly at first but.
Bhfuil cuimhne agat súil a leagan uirthi?
Do you remember to cast an eye on her?
Níl ndáiríre i dtosach. Bhí smo choinne san air sin ach ach
Not really at first. I had a thought about that but but.
'Sin é an t-aonú atá orm nuair a fuair muid níos faide leis nár bhuail muid duine eicínt streato ná i ndiaidh caoga bliain ní athróinn bhfuil fhios agat ní thiocfainn ní bheifeá ag iarraidh mad model nua ná tada nach bea ní thiocfadh liom south a bheith beo gon oíche scartha uaidh ach.
That is the only one I have when we got further without meeting someone strange or after fifty years I wouldn’t change, you know, I wouldn’t come, you wouldn’t want a new mad model or anything at all, I couldn’t stand to be alive without the night separated from him but...
Ní bheifeá ag iarraidh Model Model.
You wouldn't want Model Model..
Ach nuair a nuair a leag tú súil uirthi bhí a fhios agat cérbh í féin agus cérbh iad a muintearais agus rudaí mar sin.
But when you looked at her, you knew who she was and who her people were and things like that.
Muise, bhí rudaí mar sin, bhí fhios ag 'chuile dhuine an uair sin cé cé hé an an comharsa
Well, things were like that, everyone knew then who the neighbour was.
