Story Transcript:
Ga: Ní raibh ach an fharraige os a chionn, agus an ghaoth ag séideadh go séimh timpeall air.
En: There was nothing but the sea above him, and the wind blowing gently around him.
Ga: Shuigh Cormac ar an mbus, ag féachaint amach ar an tírdhreach álainn.
En: Cormac sat on the bus, looking out at the beautiful landscape.
Ga: Bhí na Cliffs of Moher ag teacht níos gaire gach nóiméad.
En: The Cliffs of Moher were getting closer every minute.
Ga: É sin ráite, bhí imní ina chroí ag méadú le gach ciliméadar a chuaigh thart.
En: That said, there was growing unease in his heart with every kilometer that passed.
Ga: D'oibrigh Cormac i mBaile Átha Cliath, i gcroílár an bhruachbhaile gnóthach.
En: Cormac worked in Dublin, in the heart of the bustling suburb.
Ga: Bhí grá mór aige do Shiobhán, a chailín atá i bhfad uaidh.
En: He had great love for Siobhán, his girlfriend who was far away.
Ga: Bhí sí ina cónaí in aice leis na haillte cáiliúla.
En: She lived near the famous cliffs.
Ga: Bhí an chaidreamh fada casta orthu, ach bhí Cormac cinnte go raibh an grá fiúntach.
En: The long-distance relationship had been complicated for them, but Cormac was sure that the love was worthwhile.
Ga: Go minic, labhair Cormac lena dheirfiúr Brid.
En: Often, Cormac talked to his sister Bríd.
Ga: “Níor chóir duit eagla a bheith ort,” a dúirt Bríd dó, agus í ag ullmhú cupán tae sa chistin.
En: “You shouldn't be afraid,” said Bríd to him, as she prepared a cup of tea in the kitchen.
Ga: “Is fiú an grá gach baol a ghlacadh.”
En: “Love is worth every risk.”
Ga: Mar sin, chinn sé dul go tobann.
En: So, he decided to go suddenly.
Ga: A bhuíochas mór, bhí an lá lán de sholas na gréine, díreach ag críochnú an tsamhraidh.
En: Thankfully, the day was full of sunshine, just at the end of summer.
Ga: Tháinig Cormac go dtí na haillte, áit a raibh an t-aer úr agus glan mar a bhí sé ag éirí leis ón Aigéan Atlantach thíos.
En: Cormac arrived at the cliffs, where the air was fresh and clean as it rose from the Atlantic Ocean below.
Ga: Bhí uafás air lena sciamh.
En: He was astounded by their majesty.
Ga: Nuair a tháinig sé ag teach Shiobhán, bhuail amhras é.
En: When he arrived at Siobhán's house, doubt struck him.
Ga: An gceapfadh sí go raibh sé bómánta?
En: Would she think he was foolish?
Ga: D’éist sé lena chroí.
En: He listened to his heart.
Ga: D'fhéach sé ar na gairdíní beaga timpeall an tí.
En: He looked at the small gardens around the house.
Ga: Shuigh sé síos ar an bpluaise cloiche in aice leis an gcladach.
En: He sat down on the stone outcrop near the shore.
Ga: Fheidhmigh a mhisneach.
En: His courage held.
Ga: Bhuail sé ar an doras go gasta.
En: He knocked on the door quickly.
Ga: Bhí ionadh agus áthas ar Shiobhán é a fheiceáil, agus chuir siad fáilte isteach air.
En: Siobhán was surprised and delighted to see him, and they welcomed him in.
Ga: D’fhan siad ar an staighre cúil, ag féachaint amach ar an radharc oscailte ollmhór.
En: They stayed on the back steps, looking out at the vast open view.
Ga: “Tá rud éigin ba mhaith liom a rá leat,” a dúirt Cormac go ciúin.
En: “There's something I want to say to you,” Cormac said quietly.
Ga: “Cén chaoi a bheadh sé dá mbeifeá ag cónaí liom i mBaile Átha Cliath?”
