Ga: I lár an tráthnóna, chuaigh na daoine ag siúl timpeall na n-aillean.
En: In the middle of the afternoon, the people went for a walk around the cliffs.

Ga: Thaispeáin Niamh seana-bhiaís tréad an bhóthair dóibh.
En: Niamh showed them ancient cattle paths.

Ga: Bhí na carraigeacha dorcha ach bhí beanna airgid orthu mar gheall ar an ghrian.
En: The rocks were dark but had silver peaks because of the sun.

Ga: Bhí an tírdhreach cosúil le rud éigin as finscéal aoibhinn.

Ga: Ag deireadh an tráthnóna, d'fhógair Séamus buaiteoir an chomórtais.
En: At the end of the evening, Séamus announced the winner of the contest.

Ga: Bhí iontas ar Niamh nuair a chuala sí a hainm á ghlaoch.
En: Niamh was surprised when she heard her name being called.

Ga: Tháinig an clann go léir chuici agus chuir siad abhráin bhreátha i seana-fhillteáin ar aulgairí mo rudaigh.

En: Niamh and Cormac were very happy.

Ga: Ghabh siad buíochas lena gcuid gaolta.
En: They thanked their relatives.

Ga: Bhí gaile an titim ag druidim thart agus an tine fós ag lasadh go geal.
En: The mists of autumn were closing in, and the fire was still burning brightly.

Ga: Bhíodar lán le bród as a n-oidhreacht agus a gclann.
En: They were full of pride in their heritage and family.

Ga: Ar an mbealach abhaile, chonaic siad an ghrian ag luí.
En: On the way home, they saw the sun setting.

Ga: Bhí sé deas cineáil.
En: It was quite beautiful.

Ga: Bhí a fhios acu go raibh anam a ngaoil fós á choimeád beo acu.
En: They knew that the soul of their ancestors was still being kept alive in them.

Ga: Bhí féile mór críochnaithe, ach bhí cairdeas agus cuimhní cinn faoi chomaoin.
