Story Transcript:

Ga: Saoradh na gaoithe oíche úd ag Claíocha Mhothair, agus thíos, d’ardaigh na tonnta go fíochmhar in aghaidh na gcladaí.
En: The wind's release that night at Claíocha Mhothair, and below, the waves rose fiercely against the shores.

Ga: Bhog an fhoireann triúr go mall ar imeall na haille, iad ag machnamh ar an saol a bhí á fhágáil acu.
En: The team of three moved slowly along the edge of the cliffs, contemplating the life they were leaving behind.

Ga: Bhí an fómhar i lár a ré, duilleoga rua ag titim timpeall orthu, ag cruthú brat dathanna ar an talamh.
En: The harvest was in full swing, red leaves falling around them, creating a blanket of colors on the ground.

Ga: Ba í Aisling a bhí ina smaointe féin, í réidh chun slán a fhágáil le Cormac, a cara is fearr ó óige.
En: Aisling was lost in her thoughts, ready to say goodbye to Cormac, her best friend since childhood.

Ga: Bhí croí trom uirthi, ach bhí a fhios aici go raibh sé in am labhairt.
En: Her heart was heavy, but she knew it was time to speak.

Ga: "Ní bheidh sé éasca é seo a rá," a cheap sí go tostach.
En: "This won't be easy to say," she thought silently.

Ga: Leisceach, d’éirigh Cormac ar chloch mhór ag imeall na haille.
En: Reluctantly, Cormac rose onto a large rock on the edge of the cliff.

Ga: “Tá mé ag súil go mór leis an gcinneadh seo," arsa sé leis an ngrúpa, gealgháireach.
En: “I am really looking forward to this decision," he said to the group, cheerfully.

Ga: Bhí sé ag fágáil chun dul ar chonair nua, dul i mbun poist ar chósta eile.
En: He was leaving to pursue a new path, taking up a job on another coast.

Ga: Spreagadh macánta d'abhaile é, socair ar dhul amach sa saol.
En: A sincere motivation from home, determined to venture out into the world.

Ga: Bhí Niamh greamaithe idir cluiche agus cuimhní cinn.
En: Niamh was caught between playfulness and memories.

Ga: Bhí sí ag canadh ceol sentimental, an bealach a choinnigh sí an grúpa le chéile ar feadh na mblianta.
En: She was singing sentimental songs, the way she kept the group together throughout the years.

Ga: "Cuimhneoidh tú orainn, nach ea, Cormac?" arsa sí, aoibh ar aghaidh.
En: "You’ll remember us, won’t you, Cormac?" she said, smiling.

Ga: Thit tost reilige ortha.
En: A grave silence fell over them.

Ga: Ní raibh i gceist ach ciúnas na gaoithe agus na farraige.
En: Only the quiet of the wind and sea was present.

Ga: Faoi dheireadh, thóg Aisling a misneach.
En: Finally, Aisling gathered her courage.

Ga: D’fhéach sí amach thar an bhfarraige, an ghrian ag críochnú a rian sa spéir.
En: She looked out over the sea, the sun finishing its trail in the sky.

Ga: “Tá imní orm, Cormac," a dúirt sí go ciúin.
En: “I’m worried, Cormac," she said quietly.

Ga: “Tá eagla orm go ndéanfar dearmad orainn, ar an gcaidreamh atá againn.”
En: “I’m afraid we’ll be forgotten, the relationship we have.”

Ga: Rinne Cormac gáire bog, agus chuir sé lámh ar ghualainn Aisling.
En: Cormac gave a soft smile, placing a hand on Aisling's shoulder.

Ga: “Ní féidir sin a tharlú. Ní dhéanfaidh mé dearmad riamh," ar sé go daingean.
En: “That can’t happen. I’ll never forget," he said firmly.

Ga: D’ardaigh crannchur go dtí go raibh na spéartha glan.
En: The clouds cleared until the skies were clear.

Ga: D’éist siad le chéile, glór gaoithe ag...
