Story Transcript:
Ga: Tá an ghrian ag taitneamh go hard sa spéir, agus tá aoibh áthais ar an ngrúpa daltaí scoile a bhfuil a gcosán dírithe ar Aillte an Mhothair.
En: The sun is shining high in the sky, and there's a joyful expression on the group of schoolchildren whose path is directed towards Aillte an Mhothair.
Ga: Le teann allagair, is cosúil go bhfuil rithim an tsamhraidh á stóráil ina gcroíthe acu.
En: Full of chatter, it seems the rhythm of summer is stored in their hearts.
Ga: I measc an ghrúpa tá Aoife, Cian, agus Saoirse.
En: Among the group are Aoife, Cian, and Saoirse.
Ga: Cian, an caibidil na coimhlinte, ag éirí níos gleoite lena gach focal.
En: Cian, the chapter of conflict, is growing more charming with every word.
Ga: Is breá leis an aird, agus bíonn gáire ar gach duine nuair a chuireann sé a sheiftí i bhfeidhm.
En: He loves the attention, and everyone laughs when he executes his antics.
Ga: Ar an taobh eile, tá Saoirse, a bhfuil inti an spiorad eachtrúil, toilteanach dul chuig na háiteanna is neamhchoitianta.
En: On the other hand, there is Saoirse, who embodies the adventurous spirit, eager to venture to the most unusual places.
Ga: Ach tá Aoife difriúil.
En: But Aoife is different.
Ga: Tá taibhsí ciúine aici sa chroí a cuid smaointe.
En: She harbors quiet ghosts in the heart of her thoughts.
Ga: Tá sé de mhian aici teacht ar muinín agus cuimhní a bhíonn fíor dá cuid féin.
En: She desires to find confidence and memories that are truly her own.
Ga: Nuair a dhéanann Cian gáire beoga ar joke eile, agus a théann Saoirse ag rith i dtreo an fhácais eile de na haillte, mothaíonn Aoife í féin faoi scáth a gcairde.
En: When Cian bursts into vibrant laughter over another joke, and Saoirse runs towards another edge of the cliffs, Aoife feels herself under the shadow of her friends.
Ga: Stopann sí ar imeall an chosáin agus cuireann a troid inmheánach i bhfocail, "Cian, Saoirse, ba bhreá liom dul ar bhealach eile.
En: She stops at the edge of the path and puts her internal struggle into words, "Cian, Saoirse, I’d love to go another way.
Ga: Tá áit súilíneach anseo a d’fhéadfadh a bheith spéisiúil.
En: There’s a sparkling place here that could be interesting."
Ga: " Tosaíonn Cian ag cáineadh, neamhchinnte faoi an dhúshlán nua seo, agus cuireann Saoirse mothú dána i dtreo an dúshláin nua roimhe seo.
En: Cian begins to protest, uncertain about this new challenge, and Saoirse senses a daring feeling towards the new challenge ahead.
Ga: Ach, inniu, tá Aoife láidir.
En: But today, Aoife is strong.
Ga: "An féidir libh fanacht liom?
En: "Can you stay with me?"
Ga: " a deireann sí, chun í féin agus a hintinn bheith mar stiúrthóir.
En: she says, aiming to be the director of herself and her mind.
Ga: I ndiaidh nóiméid geal-ghníomh ach misniúil, toilíonn siad sa deireadh.
En: After a bright but bold moment, they finally agree.
Ga: Téann an triúr dílis ar shlí nua, chuig dúlra taisce.
En: The loyal trio sets off on a new path, towards the treasure of nature.
Ga: Ar aon dul leis na cúpla céimeanna, faigheann siad nead faoi rún, áit socair le radharc alltachtach os cionn na tuile.
En: In step with a few strides, they discover a hidden nest, a peaceful spot with an awe-inspiring view over the tide.
Ga: Tá ciúnas ann, ach ní ciúnas folamh é.
En: There is silence, but it isn't an empty silence.
Ga: Tá sé lán le tuiscint agus aontacht.
En: It is filled with understanding and unity.
Ga: Féachann siad amach, le tuiscint nua ag líonadh a gcroíthe.
En: They look out, with a new understanding filling their hearts.
Ga: Aimsíonn Aoife go bhfuil guth aici.
En: Aoife discovers she has a voice.
Ga: Tá sí ceart go leor, fiú amháin i dteannta na gcluichí seasta agus na heachtraí neamhpleannáilte.
En: She is okay, even amidst the familiar games and unplanned adventures.
Ga: Agus faoi dhrong na haillte, foghlaimíonn a cairde luach stad, chun cothrom, analuach, a fháil ann.
En: And beneath the grandeur of the cliffs, her friends learn the value of stopping, to find an equal, enriching experience within.
Ga: An gníomh á bhreathnú ag an nGrian thuas, scaiptear scéal Aillte an Mhothair go síoraí idir an triúr a gcreideann le chéile.
En: As the action is observed by the Sun above, the story of Aillte an Mhothair is eternally shared among the three who believe together.
Ga: Agus anois, bíonn Aoife feasach gur aimsíodh í féin, agus go bhfuil an turas ina cuid dá dhéanamh anois.
En: And now, Aoife is aware that she has found herself, and the journey is part of her becoming now.
