Bhfuil a fhios agat, ní bheadh siad folamh agus tada anois ná drochuair nach dtiocfadh héileacaptar agus chaithfí síneadh as bia acu agus rudaí mar sin agus tobac.
Do you know, they wouldn't be empty and nothing now or a bad time when a helicopter wouldn't come and they would be thrown supplies of food and things like that and tobacco.
An saol amuigh agus an saol istigh
The life outside and the life inside.
Is fada an lá d'fhág mé slán ag Oileán Scé.
It's a long day since I said goodbye to Oileán Scé.
Dimigh mé thar sáile bliain naoi déag is a naoi déag.
I went overseas in the year nineteen ninety-nine.
Shíl mé riamh go mb'fhearr dom bheith siar i bhfad i gcéin.
I always thought it would be better for me to be far away.
Ná go siar mar is fearr ar Bhá Scé.
