Story Transcript:

Ga: Bhí an lá glan agus crua sa gheimhreadh nuair a tháinig Niamh, Aisling agus Cillian le chéile ag aillte mhaorga na Moher.
En: It was a clear and harsh winter's day when Niamh, Aisling, and Cillian came together at the majestic Cliffs of Moher.

Ga: D’ardaigh aillte móra ó aigéan na hAtlantach, agus scéalaigh na tonnta ina n-aghaidh le fuaim dána.
En: The large cliffs rose from the Atlantic Ocean, with the waves crashing against them with a daring sound.

Ga: Bhí an lá fuar, ach bhí an t-aer glan.
En: The day was cold, but the air was fresh.

Ga: Bhí na cuimhní ag teacht ar ais go tapaidh.
En: Memories came rushing back quickly.

Ga: D'fhéach Niamh ar an saol mór roimpi.
En: Niamh looked at the vast world before her.

Ga: Bhí sí ag meabhrú faoi na hamanna a chaith sí lena cairde — uair amháin bhí sí an spiorad eachtrúil den ghrúpa.
En: She was reminiscing about the times she spent with her friends — once, she was the adventurous spirit of the group.

Ga: Ach anois, bhí níos mó dáiríre á chur aici féin.
En: But now, she was taking things more seriously.

Ga: Tháinig Aisling chuici agus éadrom searc ar a héadan.
En: Aisling came up to her with a gentle, loving expression on her face.

Ga: Bhí ról an choimeadaí síochána aici i gcónaí sa ghrúpa.
En: She always had the role of the peacekeeper in the group.

Ga: Bhí a croí oscailte, ag iarraidh gach rud a chur ina cheart.
En: Her heart was open, trying to make everything right.

Ga: Cillian, ar an taobh eile, sheas sé leis féin, ag breathnú amach go ceann an domhain.
En: Cillian, on the other hand, stood alone, looking out to the edge of the world.

Ga: Bhí sé i gcónaí beagán ciúin, ach bhí sé soiléir go raibh uaigneas éigin ann.
En: He was always a bit quiet, but it was clear there was some loneliness there.

Ga: Níor mhothaigh Niamh éasca faoin gcuairt seo.
En: Niamh didn’t feel at ease about this visit.

Ga: Ach bhí a fhios aici gurbh é seo an seans.
En: But she knew this was the chance.

Ga: "Tá mé sásta tú a fheiceáil, a Chillian," a dúirt sí go socraitheach, cé go raibh a glór ag crith beagáinín.
En: "I’m happy to see you, Cillian," she said calmly, although her voice trembled slightly.

Ga: D'fhéach Cillian isteach ina súile.
En: Cillian looked into her eyes.

Ga: "Há, céard atá thart, tá thart," a dúirt sé go neamhráitean.
En: "Ah, what’s past is past," he said indifferently.

Ga: Ach bhí croí a gheallta.
En: But promises lay in his heart.

Ga: Sheas Aisling idir an bheirt.
En: Aisling stood between the two.

Ga: "Ná tornaimis ar na seanais gan cúis.
En: "Let’s not dwell on past stories without reason.

Ga: Tá sé in am scéalta nua a chruthú.
En: It’s time to create new ones."

Ga: "D'oscail Niamh a croí, ag cur síos ar a brón maidir le conspóidí a bhí tharla.
En: Niamh opened her heart, expressing her regret about the disputes that had happened.

Ga: Bhí a guth íseal, ach macánta.
En: Her voice was low, but honest.

Ga: "Tá brón orm, a Chillian.
En: "I’m sorry, Cillian.

Ga: Bhí míthuiscint ann, agus níor labhraigh mé amach.
En: There was a misunderstanding, and I didn’t speak up."

Ga: "Bhí Cillian ciúin ar feadh nóiméid.
En: Cillian was silent for a moment.

Ga: "Bhí mise praiseach freisin," a d'admhaigh sé faoi dheireadh.
