Irish in Achill Part 1

tuigim sea

I understand yes

chuala mé caint faoi tá carraig eicínt thíos ansin ar a dtugtar carraig an ime

I heard talk about some rock down there called the butter rock.

má théann tú go dtí an chéim

if you go to the stage

sea

yes

ina cheann sin é an áit a mbíodh na daoine na feirmeoirí feirmeoirí uirthi ó do bhaclainn agat

In his head, that is the place where the farmers used to be from your embrace.

ar bord

on board

nó bulaíocht

or bullying

ba agus cearca agus chuile shórt ar a chionn

Cows and hens and every sort on top of it.

d'fhanadh cuid de na daoine sa mbaile ar chaol do bhasho agus na daoine eile ar a chionn

Some of the people would stay at home on the narrow of the arm and the other people on their head.

chuile tráthnóna

Every evening

ba cheart go dtí barr an chnoic sin

should go to the top of that hill

agus an t-im agus an bainne a fhágáil ansin

and leave the butter and the milk there

i gcomhair na ndaoine sa mbaile

for the people at home

agus ba ghnách leis na daoine sin teacht agus an t-im agus an bainne a thabhairt abhaile leo

and those people used to come and take the butter and milk home with them

tugtar carraig an ime ar an ngealach

The moon is called the butter rock.
