Story Transcript:
Ga: Fuar sa gheimhreadh a bhí ann.
En: It was cold in the winter.
Ga: Bhí Caoimhe ag siúl ar thrá geal leis an ngealach ag lonrú.
En: Caoimhe was walking on a bright beach with the moon shining.
Ga: Bhí sí ag éalú ón gcraos Nollaig.
En: She was escaping from the Christmas chaos.
Ga: Bhí an trá ciúin agus an fharraige ag caint go mífrithghníomhach.
En: The beach was quiet, and the sea was speaking in an unreactive manner.
Ga: Mhothaigh Caoimhe faoiseamh beagán ón torann istigh sa bhaile.
En: Caoimhe felt a bit of relief from the noise inside the house.
Ga: Tugadh faoi deara go tobann fuaim gleoite, cosúil le cloigíní ciúine ón bhfarraige.
En: Suddenly, a sweet sound was noticed, like gentle bells from the sea.
Ga: D'fhéach Declan agus Siobhán ar Caoimhe, ach bhí sí caillte ina smaointe féin.
En: Declan and Siobhán looked at Caoimhe, but she was lost in her own thoughts.
Ga: Bhí a croí lán le fiosracht.
En: Her heart was full of curiosity.
Ga: "Cad a bhíonn ann, foinse an fhuaim?
En: "What could it be, the source of the sound?"
Ga: " a tháinig an cheist ina hintinn.
En: came the question in her mind.
Ga: Ach bhí an taoide ard agus bhí an trá clúdaithe le dorchadas.
En: But the tide was high, and the beach was covered with darkness.
Ga: Bhí eagla neamhrialta ar Caoimhe faoin bhfarraige dorcha, ach an t-aon phaisean a thug uirthi a leanúint ná an fonn chun a fháil amach.
En: Caoimhe had an irrational fear of the dark sea, but the only passion that drove her to follow was the urge to find out.
Ga: Bhog sí níos gaire don uisce, cé go raibh an fuacht ag dul i bhfeidhm uirthi.
En: She moved closer to the water, even though the cold was affecting her.
Ga: Mar a rinne sí a bealach, d'fhás an torann níos airde agus ní tháinig sé ach isteach ina croí.
En: As she made her way, the noise grew louder, and it filled her heart.
Ga: Bhí an ghné éadrom, mar gurbh iad na cloigíní amháin a threoraigh í.
En: The light element was there, as it was only the bells that guided her.
Ga: Stop Declan agus Siobhán, agus d'fhéach siad mar a thug Caoimhe aghaidh ar na tonnta.
En: Declan and Siobhán stopped and watched as Caoimhe faced the waves.
Ga: Bhí sí á threorú ag rud éigin níos mó ná í féin.
En: She was being guided by something greater than herself.
Ga: Sa deireadh, d’aimsigh sí rud beag lonrach ar bharr na dtonnta - buí ag snámh.
En: In the end, she discovered a small shining object on the crest of the waves — golden and floating.
Ga: Sin foinse an fhuaim!
En: That was the source of the sound!
Ga: Chuaigh sé i dtaithí uirthi go raibh an draíocht istigh inti féin i gcónaí.
En: It became familiar to her that the magic was always within herself.
Ga: Bhí sí ag iarraidh rud éigin níos doimhine a aimsiú i gcónaí, ach faigheann sí amach go bhfuil sé ann cheana féin.
En: She had always wanted to find something deeper, but she discovers that it's already there.
Ga: D'fhill Caoimhe ar an trá, a croí tionscnaithe faoin gcéad eispéireas úr.
En: Caoimhe returned to the beach, her heart invigorated by the new experience.
Ga: D’fhéach sí ar Siobhán agus Declan a rith ina treo.
En: She saw Siobhán and Declan running towards her.
Ga: “Tá sé ceart go leor a bheith caillte,” a mhachnaigh sí.
En: “It’s okay to be lost,” she mused.
Ga: Thóg sí aire ar an eagna nua.
En: She took heed of the newfound wisdom.
Ga: Thosaigh an chuma is a osclaíodh na réaltaí í.
En: It seemed as if the stars were opening her.
Ga: Agus ansin, leis an intinn shocair sin, roinn sí an Nollaig ar iasacht le Siobhán agus Declan, an t-áthas a fuarthas faoin ngealach an tráthnóna sin.
En: And then, with that calm mind, she shared Christmas with Siobhán and Declan, the joy they found under the moon that evening.
