Dijeridiú: English Translation (Leaving Cert Irish): Flashcards

Cé go bhfuil an scéal dubh uaireanta, léiríonn sé misneach agus dóchas freisin. Tá Cóirín ag iarraidh dul i ngleic leis na dúshláin agus teacht ar shlánú mothúchánach. (Although the story is sometimes dark, it also shows courage and hope. Cóirín tries to face the challenges and find emotional healing.)

Ní mheallfaidh an ceol seo nathair nimhe aníos as íochtar ciseáin do bhoilg le brothall seanma na mbruthfhonn teochreasach. (This music will not lure a venomous snake up from the bottom of a basket's belly with the flickering old magic of sultry steamy airs.)

Má sheasann tú dhá chéad bliain ag éisteacht, closifir ceolstair a chine ag sileadh as ionathar pollta, géarghoba éan ag cnagadh plaosc, ag snapadh mionchnámh, agus doirne geala ár sinsear cneasta ag bualadh chraiceann na talún mar a bheadh bodhrán, ná mothaíonn faic. (If you stand listening for two hundred years, you will hear the music of a race pouring from a broken chest, a sharp-beaked bird knocking shells, snapping small bones, and the white fists of our gentle ancestors beating the skin of the earth as if it were a bodhrán, but you will not feel a thing.)
