Nuair a bhíodh an t-earrach ag teacht.
When the spring used to come..
Shéid siad an fear an tí, théadh sé go dtí an chruach arbh agus leath, bhaineadh sé dó an clúdach a bhíodh air agus na súgáin agus théid, bhíodh sól aige agus cloch.
They would blow the man of the house, he would go to the stack of corn and with a half, he would take off the covering that used to be on it and the ropes and he would go, he would have a light and a stone...
Agus bhíodh siad ag bualadh an foireann.
And they used to beat the team.
Agus bhíodh siad ag baint an grán amach as bhoil ansin.
And they used to take the grain out of the bag then..
Bhfuil a fhios agat toirnín?
Do you know thunder?.
Gheobhaidh an toirneach ansin ag greadadh go mbainfeadh sé an grán agus nuair a thiocfadh lá gálaí nárbh é gála é bheadh sé ag crá suas sa spéir aige go dtiocfaidh an grán amach.
The thunder would then start banging so that it would shake the grain, and when a day of gusts would come that was not really a gale, it would be tormenting up in his sky until the grain would come out.
Ar tithe ceann tuí uilig ab ea a Bhríd a bhí thart anseo fadó nuair a bhí tusa i do chailín.
All the houses around here long ago when you were a girl, Bríd, were thatched houses.
a dúirt sé, bhí tithe deasa.
he said, there were nice houses..
