Story Transcript:
Ga: Bhí an ghrian ag glioscarnach ar maidin Dé Máirt san Earrach déanach.
En: The sun was shimmering on Tuesday morning in the late spring.
Ga: Bhí Eamon agus Sorcha ar thuras.
En: Eamon and Sorcha were on a journey.
Ga: Bhí a mbuille croí á lasadh ag saoirse na n-aer.
En: Their hearts were alight with the freedom of the air.
Ga: Stop siad ag bun Aillte an Mhothair, áit draíochta agus álainn.
En: They stopped at the base of the Cliffs of Moher, a magical and beautiful place.
Ga: Rinne Eamon staidéar ar an áit le súil tite.
En: Eamon studied the place with a captivated eye.
Ga: Bhí Eamon, file cliste, ag lorg inspioráide, ach ba thuirseach an turas é.
En: Eamon, a clever poet, was seeking inspiration, but the journey was tiring.
Ga: Bhí amhras air an raibh sé an-mhaith.
En: He doubted whether he was any good.
Ga: Bhí Sorcha in aice leis, áfach.
En: Sorcha was beside him, however.
Ga: Bhí sí ar laochra ar fad.
En: She was uplifting in every way.
Ga: Thaitin na mionsonraí simplí léi.
En: She enjoyed the simple details.
Ga: Bhí áthas uirthi.
En: She was happy.
Ga: Bhí uirthi cabhrú leis an bpobal mearbhallach a bhí ann.
En: She had to help the confused community that was there.
Ga: “Samhlaigh é, Eamon,” arsa Sorcha go cineálta, “féach ar na héin sa spéir.
En: "Imagine it, Eamon," said Sorcha kindly, "look at the birds in the sky.
Ga: Níl deacrachtaí acu.
En: They have no difficulties.
Ga: Tá a fhios acu cá bhfuil siad ag dul.
En: They know where they are going."
Ga: ”D’fhéach Eamon ansin.
En: Eamon looked then.
Ga: Bhí na héin ag críochniú a scéalta féin, soilsíodh radharc álainn ina n-eitilt.
En: The birds were completing their own stories, illuminating a beautiful scene in their flight.
Ga: Ba mhór an spreagadh é.
En: It was a great inspiration.
Ga: Ach bhí a intinn fós lán de cheisteanna.
En: But his mind was still full of questions.
Ga: Shiúil siad níos faide suas ar an cliff.
En: They walked further up the cliff.
Ga: Bhreathnaigh an fharraige go ciúin, ag taispeáint síocháin.
En: The sea looked calm, displaying peace.
Ga: Bhí an radharc sin annamh d’Eamon.
En: That view was rare for Eamon.
Ga: D’fhan sé tamall ag féachaint ar an scáthán uisce, ach tháinig an lochta fós ina aigne.
En: He lingered a while, looking at the mirror of water, but the faults still came to his mind.
Ga: Bhí an ghaoth ag glacadh a ngruaige.
En: The wind was taking their hair.
Ga: Bhí Sorcha in ann áthas a chur isteach i meabhrach Eamon.
En: Sorcha was able to infuse joy into Eamon's mind.
Ga: Bhí an grian ag dul faoi agus luaigh Sorcha scéal a bhí aici óna hóige.
En: The sun was setting and Sorcha mentioned a story she had from her youth.
Ga: Bhí sí i gcomhludar lena seanmháthair ag bord farraige.
En: She was with her grandmother by the sea.
Ga: “Cuimhnigh, Eamon, ar an sochraotacht atá i ngach nóiméad,” ar sí.
En: "Remember, Eamon, the simplicity in every moment," she said.
Ga: “Nuair a bhí mé óg, seomra beag agus tine, ní raibh gá le níos mó le sonas.
En: "When I was young, a small room and a fire, there was no need for more for happiness."
Ga: ”Thosaigh Eamon ag scríobh síos, a intinn oscailte, ag mothú an t-inspiorái
