Ga: Sa samhradh, bhí an aimsir go hálainn in Éirinn, agus bhí Niall lán de phleananna rómánsúla.
En: In the summer, the weather was beautiful in Éirinn, and Niall was full of romantic plans.

Ga: Bhí sé ag iarraidh rud speisialta a dhéanamh dá chailín, Siobhán.
En: He wanted to do something special for his girlfriend, Siobhán.

Ga: Mar sin, shocraigh sé ar an gcladach áilleachtach de Chliabhán Mhothair i gContae an Chláir, áit a raibh na haillte iontacha agus an fharraige fhiáin.
En: So, he decided on the beautiful shore of Cliabhán Mhothair in Contae an Chláir, where the majestic cliffs and the wild sea were.

En: After they walked along the cliff, Niall looked at Siobhán.

Ga: Féach, bhí an áit foirfe: an fharraige ag scairteadh, na gaotha ag súileál trína ngruaig.
En: Look, the place was perfect: the sea crashing, the winds breezing through their hair.

Ga: Ach ansin, thosaigh sé ag drizzly.

Ga: Bhí imní ar Niall, an ndéanfadh an drochaimsir a chuimhne oiriúnach?
En: Niall was worried—would the bad weather ruin the perfect memory?

Ga: Mhothaigh sé an áilleacht a bhí timpeall orthu, fiú amháin le drochaimsir.
En: He felt the beauty surrounding them, even with bad weather.

Ga: Shocraigh Niall an nóiméad a thapú.
En: Niall decided to seize the moment.

Ga: Chuir sé lámh ina phóca agus thit ar a ghlúin.
En: He put his hand in his pocket and dropped to one knee.

Ga: "Siobhán," a dúirt sé, agus bhí grá ina shúile, "an bpósfaidh tú mé?
En: "Siobhán," he said, with love in his eyes, "will you marry me?"

Ga: "Bhí ionadh ar Siobhán, agus las sí suas le sonas.
