Ba shin é an méid a tháinig isteach.
That was all that came in.
Cé mhéad duine a báthadh báitheadh deichniúr?
How many people drowned were ten drowned?
Agus beirt ar an oileán ó thuaidh.
And two on the island to the north..
Agus cén chaoi ar éirigh leat féin a thíocht?
And how did you manage to come yourself?
I dTír Bhoil a bhí muid díreach i dtír roimhe.
We had just landed in the Land of the Boyl before...
Creidim gurb in é an rud.
I believe that that is the thing..
Ach ina dhiaidh sin ansin bhí an saol ag dul ina n-aghaidh, fuair an saol ina n-aghaidh.
But after that then life was going against them, life went against them..
Go han bhfuair siad an cur an talamh agus níor fhás a dhath ar an talamh dóibh na blianta dheireanacha.
That they got the land sown and nothing grew on the land for them the last years.
