Locations
Ag na hoileáin atá thart ar an gceantar ach go raibh sé níos cruaidhe ag dul ar an toradh chaithfeadh an uile dhul 'chuile shórt a dhul ar an bhaint.
At the islands around the area, but it was harder to get the result; everyone had to go, every sort had to go to the harvest.
Agus ní níor chuala tú riamh, a Mháire, cén chaoi a gcaithfidís an t-am nó cén scóip a bhí acub ar an ar an torann ó bheidís istigh uirthi? Céard céard a bhí le déanamh nó
And you never heard, Máire, how they would spend the time or what scope they had for the noise if they were inside on her? What was there to do then.
Bhoil, bhí scóip maith acu, is minic a dairigh mé iad a rá go raidió a bhíodh sé acu, bhíodh siad ag éisteacht le raidió Lucsamburg.
Well, they had a good scope, I often heard them say that they had a radio, they used to listen to Radio Luxembourg.
Agus bhíodh siad ag déanamh rudaí amach as.
And they used to make things out of it..
Agus ag cur báidíní isteach i mbuidéil.
And putting little boats into bottles..
Agus ag déanamh rudaí mar sin le sliogáin nuair a théadh siad siar rud ar bith a bheith a bheith caitheamh aimsire.
And doing things like that with shells when they went back, having nothing to do as a pastime...
Choinneodh an intinn ag imeacht.
The mind would keep going..
