Story Transcript:
Ga: I lár an bhliain, leannán a bhí sa chroí ag gach duine timpeall Baile Átha Cliath.
En: In the middle of the year, a lover was at the heart of everyone around Baile Átha Cliath.
Ga: Bhí sneachta éadrom ag titim ar Thrá Lí agus croíthe dearga ag lasadh trí na fuinneoga.
En: Light snow was falling on Trá Lí and red hearts were glowing through the windows.
Ga: Bhí an Ceathrú Seans ar an Aer ag síorghluaiseacht ar raidió Saorstát na hÉireann agus bhí Ronan, leabharlannaí tiomanta, ag obair i Leabharlann Choláiste na Tríonóide, Baile Átha Cliath.
En: An Ceathrú Seans ar an Aer was constantly moving on raidió Saorstát na hÉireann and Ronan, a dedicated librarian, was working in the library of Coláiste na Tríonóide, Baile Átha Cliath.
Ga: Bhí Ronan ag grá do na leabhair ní ba mhó ná do dhaoine riamh, ach bhí draíocht faisnéise i Siobhán, staraí bríomhar a bhí ar cuairt, a mheall a chroí.
En: Ronan loved books more than people ever did, but there was a magical allure in Siobhán, a lively historian visiting, that captured his heart.
Ga: Bhog siad anois idir na seilfeanna arda leabhartha, ag cuardach lámhscríbhinn bhrare.
En: They moved now between the tall bookshelves, searching for a rare manuscript.
Ga: Ba mhór an trua ná go raibh an lámhscríbhinn imithe as an áit sin.
En: It was a great pity that the manuscript had disappeared from that location.
Ga: Bhí Siobhán ag iniúchadh faoi mhiotaseolaíocht Cheilteach.
En: Siobhán was researching Celtic mythology.
Ga: Bhí teoiric aici faoin lámhscríbhinn a bhí tabhachtach dá cuid taighde.
En: She had a theory about a manuscript that was important to her research.
Ga: Bhí uaireanta áirithe aici chun an lámhscríbhinn a fháil roimh léacht riméadach.
En: She had a limited amount of time to find the manuscript before an exciting lecture.
Ga: “Caithfimid é a aimsiú, Ronan.
En: “We must find it, Ronan.
Ga: Níl mórán ama againn,” ar sí, agus díograis dearg ina shúile.
En: We don't have much time,” she said, with a fiery zeal in her eyes.
Ga: Bhí Ronan imníoch.
En: Ronan was anxious.
Ga: D’fhéadfadh scannal titim anuas ar an leabharlann dá gcaillfidís an lámhscríbhinn.
En: A scandal could fall upon the library if they lost the manuscript.
Ga: B’fhearr leis dul i dteagmháil leis na húdaráis, ach bhí rud éigin i ndán di ann le Siobhán, a béaloideas béal dorcha ginstil.
En: He would rather contact the authorities, but there was something in store for him there with Siobhán, her storytelling dark and bewitching.
Ga: Le chéile, thosaigh siad ag siúl timpeall an troscán glactha, na seilfeanna atá ag uisce, agus na hallaí ciúine, lena n-aghaidh spíonta le fonn.
En: Together, they started walking around the reception furniture, the leaking shelves, and the quiet halls, their faces drawn with determination.
Ga: Bhí siad sa Sean-Seomra le hurlár péine, na leabharlanna ag iarraidh an lámhscríbhinn a thabhairt chun solais.
En: They were in the Old Room with a pine floor, the librarians trying to bring the manuscript to light.
Ga: Fágadh bealach caol ag dreapadh bun an túr ársa.
En: A narrow path was left climbing the base of an ancient tower.
Ga: D'aimsigh siad stair faoi thalamh a d’oifigíonn paiste caocaochta.
En: They discovered underground history officiating a blind alley.
Ga: Shroich siad seomra ceilte le gléas sofaisticiúil.
En: They reached
