  • Tá an ghrian ag dul faoi.

    The sun is setting.

  • Tá dath órga ag scaipeadh ar an spéir.

    A golden color is spreading across the sky.

  • Tá Cillian agus Saoirse ag siúl suas cnoc Tarbh.

    Cillian and Saoirse are walking up Bull Hill.

  • Tá a dtrealamh siúil orthu agus málaí droma acu.

    They are wearing their hiking gear and carrying backpacks.

  • Tá an t-aer úr, lán le boladh duilleoga tithe.

    The air is fresh, full of the scent of fallen leaves.

  • Tá fonn ar Chillian nasc a dhéanamh lena ghnáthfhón Éireannach.

    Cillian feels a desire to connect with his native Irish roots.

  • Braitheann sé uaireanta gur chaill sé rud éigin.

    Sometimes, he feels as though he has lost something.

  • Uaireanta, bíonn an saol nua-aimseartha ró-ghnóthach dó.

    Modern life can be too busy for him at times.

  • Mar sin, thog sé seans agus rinne sé cinneadh teacht anseo.

    So, he took a chance and made the decision to come here.

  • “Cillian, féach ar sin,” a deir Saoirse, ag léiriú ar sheanchloch ar an talamh.

    “Cillian, look at that,” says Saoirse, pointing to an ancient stone on the ground.

  • Tá siombailí greanta ann.

    There are symbols carved into it.

  • Tá a fhios aici go bhfuil an áit úróir.

    She knows this place is historical.

  • Tá an chinn fhiosrach ar Saoirse.

    Saoirse is curious by nature.

  • “Is dócha gur chloíg sé leis na sean-Ghaeil,” a deir Cillian ag léamh na siombailí leis na súile aige.

    “It probably stuck with the old Irish,” says Cillian, examining the symbols with his eyes.

  • Tá meas aige ar an áit seo. Fásann an meas leis an ngrian atá ag teitheadh.

    He has respect for this place, and that respect grows as the sun retreats.

  • Siúlann siad timpeall ar an cnoc.

    They walk around the hill.

  • Taispeánann Saoirse dó gach cloch is láthair.

    Saoirse shows him every stone and site.

  • Tá sí lán le spleodar.

    She is full of excitement.

  • Deir sí scéalta faoin chultúr is naicimseach.

    She tells stories about the culture and history.

  • Tugann sí radhairc d’am atá caite.

    She offers glimpses into the past.

  • Tugann sé seo brí nua do Chillian.

    This gives new meaning to Cillian.

  • Agus an ghrian ag dul i bhfolach, tá radharc draíochtúil ar na sean-fhoirgnimh.

    As the sun hides itself, there is a magical view of the old buildings.

  • Tá bolg athrúcháin ag Cillian.

    Cillian feels a transformation happening within him.

  • Braitheann sé draíocht an cheantair.

    He senses the magic of the area.

  • Tá iontas air faoin ngléas nádúrtha.

    He is in awe of the natural surroundings.

  • Tuigeann sé nach bhfuil sé caillte ina áit féin.

    He realizes he is not lost in his own place.

  • Tá sé páirteach.

    He is part of it.

  • Buaileann an fheasacht air.

    An awareness hits him.

  • Is mian leis maireachtáil leis an nua-aimsearthacht agus an stair.

    He wants to live with both modernity and history.

  • Ciallaíonn an nóiméad seo níos mó ná na focail.

    This moment means more than words can express.

  • Tá sé mar bhuaicphointe dá thuras pearsanta.

    It is the pinnacle of his personal journey.

  • Nuair atá siad ag siúl síos an cnoc arís, tá Cillian níos suaimhní.

    As they walk down the hill again, Cillian is more at peace.

  • Fuair sé an nasc atá á lorg aige.

    He has found the connection he was searching for.

  • Tugann sé leis an ngréasán idir a dhá shaol.

    He carries with him the bond between his two worlds.

  • Tá sé níos sábháilte ina féiniúlacht nua, mar Shoirse.

    He feels more secure in his new identity, like Saoirse.

  • Tá deireadh leis an lá, ach tosaíonn saol nua do Chillian.

    The day comes to an end, but a new life begins for Cillian.

  • Anois, tá sé sásta leis féin.

    Now, he is content with himself.

  • Is breá leis an gcultúr agus an saol nua atá aige — tá an dá rudaí le chéile.

    He loves both his culture and his new life—they come together seamlessly.

  • B’ait leo mar chara mar an gcéanna.

    They would see each other as friends all the same.

  • Luaigh Cillian gur muidne an t-am atá thart agus an t-am atá ann faoi láthair.

    Cillian mentioned that we are both the past and the present.

  • Sín í comhartha Tarbh.

    That's what Bull Hill symbolizes.
