Locations
'chuile mhír ina bhí a bhain leis ach an áit a raibh
every item in which he was involved except the place where he was
An piocadh an áit a raibh an chóta mór crochta.
Choosing the place where the big coat was hung..
Toradh uait liomsa anois, adeir sé, agus beannfaidh mé an taom is mó dhuit, adeir sé, a chonaic tú ariamh.
A result from you now, he says, and I will grant you the greatest fit, he says, that you have ever seen.
Tháinig siad ann ar chaoi ar bith: 'Sin é mo chósta mórsa adeir an sagart.
They came there anyway: 'That is my great coast,' says the priest.
Agus thóg sé a chóta mór agus nuair a ghabhfaí síos leis an bpiocadh.
And he took his big coat and when he would go down with the picking...
Tháinig sé amach agus thosaigh sé ag déanamh an bharraí.
He came out and started making the bar.
Chuaigh sé ag an sagart, ní raibh, ní raibh teach an sagart i bhfad uainn ar chaoi ar bith.
He went to the priest, the priest’s house wasn’t, the priest’s house wasn’t far from us anyway.
