Story Transcript:

Ga: Tá an geimhreadh tagtha go hoifigiúil, agus le séideáin fhuara an aeir, tá an lána clúdaithe le sneachta íon bán.
En: Winter has officially arrived, and with the cold gusts of air, the lane is covered in pure white snow.

Ga: Taobh istigh den róistéirí caife teolaí i lár na cathrach, tá boladh cumhra na gcaife nuathóstáilte ag líonadh an spás.
En: Inside the cozy coffee roastery in the city center, the fragrant aroma of freshly roasted coffee fills the space.

Ga: Ar na ballaí bríce te, tá péintéireacht datha agus mugaí caife crochta.
En: On the warm brick walls, colorful paintings and coffee mugs are hung.

Ga: Bhí slua beag bailithe le chéile don imeacht speisialta Lá Fhéile Vailintín; blaiseadh caife a bhí lán le geallúintí ghrá agus inspioráide.
En: A small crowd had gathered for the special St. Valentine's Day event; a coffee tasting that was full of promises of love and inspiration.

Ga: Niamh, scríbhneoir bia díograiseach, ag iarraidh airteagal úr a chruthú, ach beagán an-éiginnte faoin gcoincheap grá, d'éirigh lena ceann milis titim isteach sa spás.
En: Niamh, a passionate food writer, was trying to create a fresh article, but feeling a bit uncertain about the concept of love, her sweet head fell into the space.

Ga: Bhraith sí brú a cuid ama a chaitheamh ar an airteagal sin.
En: She felt pressure to spend her time on that article.

Ga: Ina aice tá Cillian, barista le faisnéis, a bhfuil aisling aige lá amháin a chaife féin a bhunú.
En: Next to her is Cillian, a knowledgeable barista who dreams of one day establishing his own café.

Ga: Bhí sé ag súil go ciúin le duine a aimsiú a thuigfeadh a phaisean.
En: He was quietly hoping to find someone who would understand his passion.

Ga: D'fhéach sé ar an slua, a shúile ag tarraingt ar Niamh, ag mothú go bhféadfadh siad a bheith cosúil.
En: He looked at the crowd, his eyes drawn to Niamh, feeling like they might be alike.

Ga: Chinn Niamh freastal ar an blaiseadh chun eispéiris nua a fháil, agus ina intinn dóchasach, ghlac sí sip as an gcéad muga.
En: Niamh decided to attend the tasting to experience new things, and with a hopeful mind, she took a sip from the first mug.

Ga: Bhí súil ag Cillian os a comhair, ag iarraidh caint a thosú.
En: Cillian was across from her, trying to start a conversation.

Ga: Tháinig sé chuici, ag mothú beagán neirbhíseach.
En: He approached her, feeling a bit nervous.

Ga: “Conas tá tú?” a d’fhiafraigh Cillian, a shúile ag glioscarnach lena bpaisean atá folaithe go cúramach.
En: "How are you?" Cillian asked, his eyes sparkling with his carefully hidden passion.

Ga: “Táim ceart go leor. Is breá liom an caife seo. Tá tú iontach le do shúile miongháire,” arsa Niamh go socair, ag déanamh boladh ar muga eile.
En: "I'm alright. I love this coffee. You have a great smile with your eyes," said Niamh calmly, sniffing another mug.

Ga: Nuair a chuala sí faoi chomórtas impromptu ag oscailt don lucht féachana, bhí Niamh agus Cillian ar cheann de na foirne.
En: When she heard about an impromptu competition opening to the audience, Niamh and Cillian were one of the teams.

Ga: Bhí Niamh go maith le focail, ach bhí Cillian sciliúil le meaisíní.
En: Niamh was good with words, but Cillian was skilled with machines.

Ga: Thosaigh siad ag obair as lámha a chéile.
En: They began working hand-in-hand.

Ga: D’éirigh le Cillian an...
