Níl duine ar bith ag socrú síos áh bhoil ar ndóighe. Níl níl céard atá ní féidir leo socrú síos ach níl tada an-deo.
No one is settling down at all of course. No, no, what is it, they can't settle down but there's nothing really...
Agus tá faitíos orm nach mbeidh.
And I am afraid that there won't be...
A chara, céard céard b'fhéidir?
Dear friend, what, what could it be?

That's why the people aren't too worried.
Téann siad ar siúl ag scoltacha agus coláistí agus 'chuile shórt.
They go walking at schools and colleges and all sorts (of places)..
Nuair a gheobhaidh siad blascadh an taobh amuigh.
When they get a taste of the outside..
Níl tada anseo is atá siad treabh le radio, discos agus gnaithe.
There is nothing here except that they are busy with radio, discos, and business.
