Bhí... an fear atá tú ag caint air agus a mhá.. a mháthair, beannacht Dé lena nanam, tá cuimhne maith agamsa... Orthú siúd
The man who you were.. the man and his mo... his mother, God bless their souls, I have good memories... of them.
Bhí m'athair ina fíodóir
My father was a weaver
Ó ní t'athair fhéin a bhí ann?
Oh it wasn't your father who was there?
Bhí sé ina fiadóir Muise an raibh... ...agus athair sin
He was a weaver muise, was he... and [his] father
agus ag t-athair a thagadh sé?
and was it to your father he would come?
Thagadh na daoine le snáth agus dhéanadh sé éadachaí.
The people use to come with yarn and he used to make clothes.
sin é anois an chéad bhliain a rinne sé
that's now the first year he did it
chuir sí dath ar an olann, dath dubh
she dyed the wool, black colour
agus bhí m'athair ina fíodóir, rinne sé an éadach. Insa teach seo? Insa teach seo!
and my father who was a weaver, he made the cloth. In this house? In this house!
