Damhsa: Bhíodh neart rince againn, bhíodh sin ag dul go dtí an t-oileán eile.
Dancing: We used to have plenty of dancing, that used to be going to the other island.
Bhíodh agus bhí frince againn bhíodh sin ag dul oileán go oileán.
We used to have, and we had, a ferry; that used to go from island to island.
Raibh saol deas agaibh ann?
Did you have a nice time there?
Nuair a báitheadh na daoiní ní dhéanfainn ann é rud ar bith.
When the people were drowned I wouldn't do anything there..
Ní bheadh tú ag iarraidh a dhul ar ais ann.
You wouldn't want to go back there.
Ó ní fhéadfaí choíche ní gheofaí choíche ní ní
Oh, it could never be, it would never be gotten, never, never.
Ní maith liom é, ní dhéanfaidh mé aon báithim daoiní ach mbeadh sé
I don't like it, I won't drown anyone unless it would be.
Ní dheachaigh mé isteach ariamh é féin go Inis Gé Ní Loch.
I never went myself to Inis Gé Ní Loch.
Arís an báthadh ag rith trína saol ar fad.
Again the drowning running through her whole life..
