Story Transcript:

Ga: Lá breá earraigh a bhí ann.
En: It was a fine spring day.

Ga: Bhí Cian agus Maeve ag siúl cóngarach do Aillte an Mhothair, áilleacht mhór na hÉireann.
En: Cian and Maeve were walking close to the Cliffs of Moher, the great beauty of Ireland.

Ga: Ar chúlra an lae bhí eilteán gorm na farraige ag comhrá le glaoite gléigeal na n-éan.
En: In the background of the day, the blue expanse of the sea was conversing with the bright calls of the birds.

Ga: Bhí an príomhscéal ag teacht chun cinn.
En: The main story was coming to light.

Ga: Bhí borradh beag nerves i gcroí Cian.
En: There was a small flutter of nerves in Cian's heart.

Ga: Bhí sé sásta a bheith le Maeve.
En: He was happy to be with Maeve.

Ga: A chuid gruaige, dáth órga na gréine, agus a bealach gnaíúil, réidhachta roimhe.
En: Her hair, the golden hue of the sun, and her charming, easy-going manner before him.

Ga: Bhí a fhios ag Cian go raibh sé tábhachtach dul i bhfeidhm ar Maeve, ach bhí faitíos orthu.
En: Cian knew it was important to make an impression on Maeve, but he was afraid.

Ga: Tá faitíos air i ndáiríre ar airde.
En: He was truly afraid of heights.

Ga: Maeve, áfach, bhí sí lán de spleodar agus fiosracht.
En: Maeve, however, was full of excitement and curiosity.

Ga: Bhí ceamara an chomhlacht aici, réidh chun alpadh na háilleachta timpeall orthu.
En: She had a company camera, ready to capture the beauty around them.

Ga: Lean siad an cosán.
En: They followed the path.

Ga: Bhí na bláthanna ag a gcosa, luí seoil san aer úr.
En: The flowers were at their feet, swaying in the fresh air.

Ga: Bhí áilleacht sa táscaire.
En: There was beauty in the atmosphere.

Ga: Tháinig siad níos gaire do na haillte.
En: They came closer to the cliffs.

Ga: Bhain urlscoil de moill Cian.
En: The steepness made Cian pause.

Ga: An oiread sin agus gur thit an gaoth as a sheol.
En: So much so that the wind was knocked out of his sails.

Ga: Thiomáin an taobh amuigh sólás uaidh.
En: The outdoor setting took away his comfort.

Ga: Ach bhí aoibh an gháire ag Maeve.
En: But there was a smile on Maeve's face.

Ga: Bhí sé ag iarraidh cabhrú léi, agus mar sin, bhí sé ag iarraidh a eagla a chur i leataobh.
En: He wanted to help her, and so he wanted to set aside his fear.

Ga: “Grianghrafáil an radharc,” dúirt Cian, ag éirí aireach faoin gcaoi a raibh sé ag fuaimeadh.
En: “Photograph the view,” said Cian, becoming mindful of how he was sounding.

Ga: Bhí sé ag iarraidh go mbeadh an dáta speisialta.
En: He wanted the date to be special.

Ga: Ní raibh sé ag iarraidh go dtiocfadh Maeve ar a eagla roimhe seo.
En: He did not want Maeve to sense his previous fear.

Ga: Ach mar a rinne Maeve a bealach tríd an deachracht, rinn sí géarchúis an nóiméad.
En: But as Maeve maneuvered through the challenge, she captured the essence of the moment.

Ga: “Tá an radharc seo dochreidte!” Ghlaoigh Maeve, agus í ag iarraidh ar íomhá foirfe a fháil.
En: “This view is incredible!” Maeve exclaimed, trying to capture the perfect image.

Ga: Thit chugha, beagnach i dtreo imeall na haillte.
En: She almost leaned toward the edge of the cliffs.

Ga: Bhí bán brollach ag an farraige thíos.
En: The sea below gleamed white.

Ga: D’fhéadfadh Cian an t-a
