Return to Inishkea, 1988 part 2/3

suas go hacaill sí san ard mór

up to the shoulder she in the big height

lucht an bhoird isteach insa bhfómhar

people of the board in the autumn

ní haon bhréag

no lie

ansin

then

bhí curaí

there was curry

chaill siad a mbeadh sé tsamhraidh

They lost what would be the summer.

ag iascaireacht

fishing

agus sé ag dul i bhfad ón mbaile

and he is going far from home.

b'fhéidir síos go dtí san áit a bhfuil mé 'mo chónaí anois

maybe down to the place where I am living now.

sixty-six thousand here.

agus a gcuid éisc a cheapann tusa

and their fish that you think.

agat

"at you"

is giorra gliomach

A lobster is shorter.

agus ansin ionad sin bothán beag

and then instead a small hut.

agus chuaigh muid isteach ansin ar feadh seachtaine

and we went in there for a week.
