Bhoil, bhínn ag imirt leis go minic, bhí sé iontach ar an mbealach sin, thugadh sé ara b'fhéidir ag iascach le tramalls agus fuair siad.

Well, I used to play with him often, he was great in that way, he might take them fishing with nets and they got..

D'fhágadh sé leis i gcónaí, bhí sé iontach mar sin.

He always left with it, he was wonderful like that.

Bhí aithne mhór sin.

There was a great acquaintance...

Agus tú in do bhunéachaí go díreach.

And you in your roots directly.

Bhoil 'sin iompar baile anois an bhfuil a fhios agat go dtí an b'fhéidir seo bheinn ag dul go béal úr Dan Dava.

Bhí sé cineál deimhneach in amannaí dhá dtabharfá tobar ort, a' bhfuil 'fhios a'd?, an bréic jam a fháil?

He was kind of definite at times if you would give it a go, you know?, to get the jam break?.

I managed well enough, thank God.
