Story Transcript:
Ga: Tá sneachta ag titim go mall ar na hAillte Mhothair, radharc atá ag tógáil anála.
En: Snow is falling slowly on the hAillte Mhothair, a breathtaking sight.
Ga: Tá na tonnta ag bualadh in aghaidh na gcarraigeacha le torann láidir.
En: The waves crash against the rocks with a strong noise.
Ga: Aoife agus Cian ag siúl ar bhóithrín lán le scéalta ceilte na sinsear.
En: Aoife and Cian are walking on a path full of the hidden stories of the ancestors.
Ga: Tá gaoth ag séideadh fuar, ach ní stopann sé sin an bheirt uathu.
En: The wind is blowing cold, but it doesn't stop them.
Ga: Oíche Shathairn Bliain Nua atá ann.
En: It's New Year's Eve, Saturday night.
Ga: Aoife, cónaí uirthi in aice leis na hailleanna, tá gean aici ar an dúlra.
En: Aoife, who lives near the cliffs, has a fondness for nature.
Ga: Inniu, tá sí ag éisteacht le ceol mistéireach atá ag teacht ó na tonnta.
En: Today, she is listening to mysterious music coming from the waves.
Ga: Creideann sí go bhfuil teachtaireacht dhoimhne anseo.
En: She believes there is a profound message here.
Ga: Deirtear sa scéalta áitiúil go dtugann an fonn seo créatúir anaithnid chuig an domhan seo.
En: The local stories say that this melody brings unknown creatures to this world.
Ga: Tá Aoife fiosrach agus misniúil.
En: Aoife is curious and brave.
Ga: Tá sí ag iarraidh aimsiú cad atá taobh thiar den cheol draíochtach.
En: She wants to find out what is behind the magical music.
Ga: Tá Cian, ar a thaobh, eile.
En: Cian, on the other hand, is different.
Ga: Níl sé ach ar cuairt agus níl mórán creidiúint aige i scéalta fantaisíochta.
En: He is only visiting and doesn't have much belief in fantasy stories.
Ga: Is fear loighic é.
En: He is a man of logic.
Ga: Dar leis, tá fáth réalaíoch leis an bhfuaim.
En: According to him, there is a realistic reason for the sound.
Ga: Mar sin féin, tá sé fiosrach.
En: Nonetheless, he is curious.
Ga: Ní féidir leis dul ar ais gan freagra.
En: He can't return without an answer.
Ga: Tosaíonn siad ag siúl i dtreo na gcéimeanna.
En: They start walking towards the steps.
Ga: Tá an suíochán orthu níos mó agus níos soiléire.
En: The sound is becoming more and more clear.
Ga: "An bhfuil tú cinnte faoi seo?
En: "Are you sure about this?"
Ga: " a deir Cian, an imní le feiceáil go soiléir ar a aghaidh.
En: says Cian, with worry clearly visible on his face.
Ga: Ach ní stopann Aoife.
En: But Aoife doesn't stop.
Ga: Tá sí dírithe, ábalta an ceol a leanúint le gach gluaiseacht a dhéantar ag na hailleanna.
En: She is focused, able to follow the music with every movement made by the cliffs.
Ga: De réir mar a thagann siad níos gaire, éiríonn an ceol níos airde agus spréagann sé braonfidh iontais ina gcroíthe.
En: As they get closer, the music becomes louder and inspires a drop of wonder in their hearts.
Ga: A bhfís acu ag réabadh de réir a chéile in éineacht le ceol.
En: Their vision gradually unfolds along with the music.
Ga: An bpláid an nádúr nó ceol ó dhomhantarraingt anaithnid é?
En: Is it a trick of nature or music from an unknown gravity?
Ga: Cian ag siúl in aice léi go crua i bhfluich an sneachta, a chroí ag bualadh go tapa.
En: Cian walks beside her, struggling in the wet snow,
