Story Transcript:

Ga: Ar soilse gréine an tráthnóna, bhogfaí scéal draíochta Niamh agus Saoirse ar feadh an Amalfi Coast.
En: In the evening sunlight, the magical story of Niamh and Saoirse unfolded along the Amalfi Coast.

Ga: Bhí an fíonghort síneadh amach os comhair a súl, taobh le taobh leis an aigéan gorm a líonadh le sioráistí síorghorm.
En: The vineyard stretched out before their eyes, side by side with the blue ocean filled with endless horizons.

Ga: Bhí toradh an fhómhair ag an bhuaic, ronna uile go léir ag chreathadh faoi mheáchan na bhfionnaí, faoi chaomhnú dhreachanna maorga na gcnoic timpeall.
En: The harvest was at its peak, and all the rows trembled under the weight of the vines, under the protection of the majestic hills surrounding them.

Ga: Bhí súil ard ag Niamh ar an bhfíonghort íontach seo.
En: Niamh held high hopes for this magnificent vineyard.

Ga: Bhí sí sa tóir ar eolas ar an ngnó ársa an déantús fíona chun a haistíreachta a fhíorú.
En: She was in search of knowledge about the ancient business of winemaking to affirm her own heritage.

Ga: Bhí Cormac, an bainisteoir le súile troma, orthu le breathnú de thóir na heagraíochta.
En: Cormac, the manager with heavy eyes, watched them in pursuit of organization.

Ga: Bhí sé dírithe ar a gcuid oibre, ach bhí amhras faoi Niamh agus Saoirse.
En: He was focused on his work but was wary of Niamh and Saoirse.

Ga: Chuir Saoirse bun a bríd ar eachtraí an tsamhraidh; bí ag teastáil cinneadh a dhéanamh faoin todhchaí.
En: Saoirse had made a foundation for the summer's adventures; she needed to make a decision about the future.

Ga: Ach, bhraith sí teas na gréine agus milse an bhlas fíon, nach raibh deifir uirthi.
En: Yet, she felt the warmth of the sun and the sweet taste of the wine, and she wasn't in a hurry.

Ga: Bhí foighne Niamh níos mó agus bhí sí ag iarraidh Cormac a chruthú go raibh sí díograiseach.
En: Niamh was more patient and eager to prove to Cormac that she was diligent.

Ga: Go luath, tháinig stoirm, ag líonadh na spéire le scamaill dhubha.
En: Soon, a storm approached, filling the sky with dark clouds.

Ga: Bhí cur chuige práinne á dhéanamh—briseadh cáipéise sa mhótar, ag cur i mbaol an fhómhair.
En: An urgent approach was needed—a capacitor broke in the motor, threatening the harvest.

Ga: D'oibrigh Niamh go gasta.
En: Niamh worked quickly.

Ga: Bhí sí dea-léitheach maidir leis na hinsí.
En: She was well-versed in the mechanics.

Ga: Rinne sí é ar fad láithreach, faoi shúile uaigneacha Cormac.
En: She did it all immediately, under the lonely eyes of Cormac.

Ga: Ní raibh ach am iontach ann—chuir an mhótar ar ais ag obair.
En: There was just a wonderful moment—the motor was up and running again.

Ga: Bhí an t-ainmniúchán lán le cumhacht arís, ag fás sa ghaoth is fliche.
En: The nomination was full of power once more, growing in the wettest wind.

Ga: Bhreathnaigh Cormac ar Niamh, an fios agus an spiorad nua aici.
En: Cormac looked at Niamh, with her new-found knowledge and spirit.

Ga: Bhí meas air, rud nach raibh riamh ann roimhe sin.
En: He had newfound respect for her, something that hadn't been there before.

Ga: Bhí coimirce na bhfíon á sábháil.
En: The preservation of the wine was saved.

Ga: D'fhéach Cormac ar Niamh leis an moladh níos mó ná sin i bhfad.
En: Cormac looked at Niamh with...
