An triúr sin anyways Micí Joe.
Those three anyway, Micí Joe..
Go raibh sé ag dul ar scoil an uair sin.
That he was going to school at that time.
Tommy ann cé nach bhfágfaí mo tháinig ach ní cuimhneach liom é.
Tommy is there even though my arrival would not be allowed but I don't remember him..
Muise bhí siad ag dul, tá go leor na páirtithe a bhí ann, tá siad curtha thíos.
Well, they were going, there were plenty of parties there, they are listed below..
Imithe nach bhfuil curtha, tá sé imithe bealach éigin.
Gone, not buried, it is gone some way...
Agus nuair a bhí tú ag suí isteach ansin le ruidín beag foghlama a dhéanamh?
And when you were sitting in there to do a little bit of learning?
Raibh sé go deas bheith in ann suí síos agus éisc.
It was nice to be able to sit down and fish.
Inseoidh mé dhuit é seo ag an scoil anois atá tú a rá muise ní raibh muid i gcónaí in imní. Bhí máistir an an-ghéar orainn nuair a bhí mé dhá uair aige b'fhéidir.
I will tell you this at the school now that you are saying, sure, we were not always worried. The master was very strict with us when I was there, maybe twice..
Go teangghéar agus dhá ndéanfá rud ar bith as bealach.
Very sharp-tongued and you would do anything out of the way..
Buille de mhaide faighte agat ar an gcloigeann áit éigin ach ní raibh muid, ní raibh muid sásta dul agam.
You got a blow of a stick on the head somewhere but we weren’t, we weren’t willing to go at it..
