Is cosúil ó tharla an báthadh.
It seems since the drowning...
ar an oileán cúpla bliain roimhe sin.

That idea was in their hearts and in their minds and in their thoughts.
Agus ní shásóf aon rud, sílim, muintir an oileáin ach imeacht as agus a dhul amach go tír mhóir.
And nothing will satisfy the people of the island, I think, but to leave it and go to the mainland.
