yeah
Yeah.
Dream a bhí.
People who were..
Dream a bhí a bhí tógthaí thart chois a' cladaigh anseo.
A group that was built around the shore here.
Ara bhíodh siad amach ina bpáistí sin athair mór siad.
Well, they used to be out as those children, their great father.
Muintir fhéin.
Our own people.
Tógtaí suas.
They were raised up.
Bhíodh siad beag bídeach, bhíodh siad amuigh sa amuigh sa lá mar
They used to be tiny, they used to be out in the day like that.
Tógtaí suas i gcónaí ar mhac.
Always raised up on a son.
Amuigh a' slobaráil san uisce bheadh siad in ann
Out splashing in the water they would be able.
mbeadh siad in ann
they would be able.
A mbríst a tharraingt suas.
To pull up a pair of trousers.
Amuigh i mbáid sa gcuraí.
Out in boats in the currach.
Siad ansin.
They then..
Go mairfeadh sé sin nuair a d'fhásadh siad fhéin.
May that last when they themselves would grow.
Ach cé bí chaoi a raibh gnóthaí na hiascaireachta an uair sin, tá an teo tite i bhfad báid baileach iad a chaitheamh.
But however the fishing affairs were at that time, the heat has fallen far from the boats to gather them.
