Story Transcript:

Ga: Bhí an ghrian ag taitneamh go hálainn ar an Lúb Samhraidh.
En: The sun was shining beautifully on the Lúb Samhraidh.

Ga: Bhí Cillian agus Maeve ag siúl ar an Aillte Mhothair.
En: Cillian and Maeve were walking on the Aillte Mhothair.

Ga: Bhí an ghaoth ag seideadh go séimh agus bhí an fharraige ag briseadh suas in aghaidh na n-aillte.
En: The wind was blowing gently and the sea was crashing against the cliffs.

Ga: Bhí Cillian, scéalaí ann féin, ag lorg inspioráide.
En: Cillian, a storyteller at heart, was searching for inspiration.

Ga: Ag breathnú ar an mórtas nádúrtha os a chomhair amach, mhothaigh sé go raibh a intinn blocáilte.
En: Looking at the natural grandeur before him, he felt his mind was blocked.

Ga: Ar an taobh eile, bhí Maeve ann freisin, grianghrafadóir, ag iarraidh an áilleacht fiáin a ghabháil i bpictiúir.
En: On the other hand, Maeve was there too, a photographer, trying to capture the wild beauty in pictures.

Ga: Ach bhí sí lán le hamhrais fúithi féin agus a cuid oibre.
En: But she was full of doubts about herself and her work.

Ga: Cé go raibh siad beirt ag iarraidh a bheith ina n-aonar, thug cinniúint iad le chéile.
En: Even though they both wanted to be alone, fate brought them together.

Ga: D’fheictí dá chéile iad ar an gcéad dul síos ag féachaint ar an bhfarraige.
En: They saw each other at first watching the sea.

Ga: "Dia duit," arsa Cillian, ag briseadh na dílseachta.
En: "Hello," said Cillian, breaking the silence.

Ga: "Dia duit," a d’fhreagair Maeve, aoibh an gháire le feiceáil ar a haghaidh.
En: "Hello," replied Maeve, a smile visible on her face.

Ga: Thosaigh comhrá eatarthu, simplí ar dtús, ach ansin níos doimhne.
En: A conversation started between them, simple at first, but then deeper.

Ga: Labhair siad faoin inspioráid agus faoin amhras a leanann iad.
En: They talked about inspiration and the doubt that follows them.

Ga: Roinn Maeve a fadhbanna faoin líríocht a chaill sí ina grianghrafadóireacht.
En: Maeve shared her problems about the lyricism she lost in her photography.

Ga: D'athraigh Cillian a thaithí ar shéideadh na bpáipéar bán.
En: Cillian recounted his experience with the frustration of blank pages.

Ga: Go luath, socraíonn siad ar phlean.
En: Soon, they decided on a plan.

Ga: Rinne siad cinneadh gcomhoibriú.
En: They decided to collaborate.

Ga: Bhí Cillian scríobh píosa litríochta faoi áilleacht na n-aillte, agus bhí Maeve ag gabháil chuig na radharcanna leis na híomhánna foirfe a bhreith.
En: Cillian would write a literary piece about the beauty of the cliffs, and Maeve would capture the perfect images of the scenes.

Ga: B’é sin a gcomhthionscadal.
En: That was their joint project.

Ga: Tháinig buaic na heachtra faoi sholas na gréine atá ag dul faoi.
En: The climax of the adventure came under the light of the setting sun.

Ga: Tháinig luas ina gcroíthe agus iad ag féachaint ar an ngrian ag dul faoi, scáil agus dath corcra ag sníomh ar an bhfarraige.
En: Their hearts raced as they watched the sun set, casting shades and a purple hue on the sea.

Ga: Bhí an t-am ar a ndóigh, iad mealltach agus sásta.
En: Time felt right, and they were enchanted and content.

Ga: Bhuail siad leis an aillte arís, ach níos sineach.
En: They visited the cliffs again, but now more...
