Story Transcript:

Ga: Bhí an ghaoth fhuar ag séideadh go lagach thar na cnocáin ag Newgrange, áit a raibh Saoirse agus Cormac ina seasamh.
En: The cold wind was gently blowing over the hills at Newgrange, where Saoirse and Cormac were standing.

Ga: Bhí siad ag fanacht leis an grian ag éirí.
En: They were waiting for the sun to rise.

Ga: Bhí Saoirse lán de spéis agus sceitimíní.
En: Saoirse was full of interest and excitement.

Ga: Bhí sí ag tnúth leis an nóiméad a mbeadh solas na gréine ag dul isteach sa tuama.
En: She was looking forward to the moment when the sunlight would enter the tomb.

Ga: “Tá draíocht sa timpeall,” a dúirt Saoirse, a shúile ag scannradh le háthas.
En: “There’s magic in the air,” said Saoirse, her eyes sparkling with joy.

Ga: “Draíocht, an ea?” a dúirt Cormac, ag tarraingt a seaicéad níos cóngaraí chuige.
En: “Magic, is it?” said Cormac, pulling his jacket closer to himself.

Ga: “Níl mé cinnte faoi sin. Tá an aimsir fhuar!”
En: “I’m not sure about that. The weather is cold!”

Ga: Bhí siad ann mar chuid de chomóradh Samhain.
En: They were there as part of the Samhain celebration.

Ga: Thosaigh an grian ag teacht.

En: The place was quiet, with only the sound of the wind around them.

Ga: Bhí Saoirse ag cuimhneamh ar a muintir.
En: Saoirse was thinking about her family.

Ga: Gur rachaidh said thar na céadta blianta féachaint ar an féile seo.
En: How they had come over the centuries to see this festival.

Ga: Cheap sí ar an stair a bhí le feiceáil timpeall orthu.
En: She thought about the history visible around them.

Ga: Cén tromchúis a bhí ann, bhí sí ag smaoineamh.
En: “What significance there is,” she thought.

Ga: "Is féidir linn a bheith mar chuid den stair."
En: "Is féidir linn a bheith mar chuid den stair."

Ga: D’fhan Cormac fós cúramach.
En: Cormac remained cautious.

Ga: “Ná bí ag brionglóid. Tá an aimsir fuar,” a dúirt sé arís, ag croitheadh a chinn.
En: “Don’t be dreaming. The weather is cold,” he said again, shaking his head.

Ga: Ach, leis an ngealltanas solais ar an spéir, tháinig an grian amach.
