Story Transcript:

Ga: Thart ar an maidin ar Shráid Phádraic, bhí stoirmeacha daoine ag gluaiseacht ar aghaidh.
En: Around the morning on Sráid Phádraic, there were storms of people moving forward.

Ga: Bhí Saoirse, Cian, agus Niamh i measc an tslua, ag bogadh i dtreo Chlár Móir na hÉireann - Aillte an Mhothair.
En: Saoirse, Cian, and Niamh were among the crowd, moving towards Clár Móir na hÉireann - the Aillte an Mhothair.

Ga: Grá san aer, ach leis sin, bhí amhras chomh maith.
En: Love was in the air, but with that, there was also doubt.

Ga: Bhí Saoirse lán de dhóchas.
En: Saoirse was full of hope.

Ga: Bhí sí ag iarraidh go bhfanfaidís le chéile.
En: She wanted them to stay together.

Ga: "Cian, is áit álainn é seo chun cinntí móra a dhéanamh, nach bhfuil?
En: "Cian, this is a beautiful place to make big decisions, isn't it?"

Ga: " gháir sí, ag féachaint amach ar na huiscí farraige a bhualadh i gcoinne na n-aillte.
En: she laughed, looking out at the sea waters pounding against the cliffs.

Ga: Bhí a croí lán le grá agus paisean.
En: Her heart was full of love and passion.

Ga: D'fhéach Cian amach go ciúin, a lámh ar mo lámh Saoirse.
En: Cian looked out quietly, his hand on Saoirse's hand.

Ga: "Tá áilleacht anseo, Saoirse, ach tá deacracht sna rudaí ansin freisin," d’fhreagair sé, ag machnamh.
En: "There's beauty here, Saoirse, but there are difficulties there too," he replied, reflecting.

Ga: Bhí guth séimh aige, lán le machnamh.
En: His voice was gentle, full of contemplation.

Ga: Bhí Níamh ag siúl taobh thiar díobh, ag faire go géar.
En: Niamh was walking behind them, watching keenly.

Ga: Ní raibh sí cinnte faoi thairiscint Saoirse.
En: She wasn't sure about Saoirse's offer.

Ga: "Ná déan deifir, a chairde," mhol sí.
En: "Don't rush, friends," she advised.

Ga: "Is mór an céim é seo, agus ní féidir linn scannán a dhéanamh as.
En: "This is a big step, and we can't make a movie out of it."

Ga: "Lean an triúr ar aghaidh go dtí an pointe is airde.
En: The three continued to the highest point.

Ga: Bhí an ghrian ag dul síos agus na hothair ag scairdeadh ar na clocha n-aiseolais.
En: The sun was setting and the waves were crashing on the echoing stones.

Ga: Bhí sé an-rómánsúil.
En: It was very romantic.

Ga: Thug Saoirse aghaidh ar Chian faoi dheireadh.
En: Saoirse finally turned to Cian.

Ga: "Grá agam ort, Cian.
En: "I love you, Cian.

Ga: Táim fiosrach faoin todhchaí againn le chéile.
En: I'm curious about our future together.

Ga: An féidir linn triail a bhaint as?
En: Can we give it a try?"

Ga: " a dúirt sí go hálainn mar a chuir sí a lámh ar aghaidh dó.
En: she said beautifully as she extended her hand to him.

Ga: D’fhéach Cian isteach ina súile.
En: Cian looked into her eyes.

Ga: Bhí sé ar imeall an cinneadh a dhéanamh.
En: He was on the verge of making a decision.

Ga: "Saoirse," a dúirt sé le buartha.
En: "Saoirse," he said with worry.

Ga: "Tá eagla orm faoi na hathruithe seo.
En: "I'm afraid of these changes.

Ga: Ach má tá tusa ann, b’fhéidir is fiú triail a bhaint as.
En: But if you're there, maybe it's worth a try."

Ga: ""Sea, Cian.
En: "Yes, Cian.

Ga: Ní bheidh tú ina n-aonar riamh," a gheall Saoirse go muiníneach.
