The memory of that day is so clear in my mind it's like it happened yesterday | Tá cuimhne an lae sin chomh soiléir i m'intinn is gur tharla sé inné |
It was a cold winters morning | Maidin fhuar geimhridh a bhí ann |
It was a fine hot summers day | Lá breá brothallach an tsamhraidh a bhí ann |
it was three years ago it happened | trí bliana ó shin a tharla sé |
Night was falling | Bhí oíche ag titim |
afternoon | iarnóin |
in the middle of the night | i lár na hoíche |
The sun was splitting the stones | Bhí an ghrian ag scoilteadh na gcloch |
evening | trathnóna |
The sun was shining down from the sky | Bhí an ghrian ag spalpadh anuas ón spéir |
There wasn't a puff of wind | Ní raibh puth gaoithe ann |
It was pouring rain | Bhí sé ag stealladh báistí |
There was ice on the road | Bhí leac oighir ar an mbóthar |
it was pitch black | Bhí sé chomh dubh le pic |
There was a soft wind blowing | Bh gaoth bhog ag séideadh |
I heard thunder and lightning | Chuala mé tintreach agus toirneach |
I saw a flash of lightning | Chonaic mé splanc tintrí |
I was walking home from school | Bhí mé ag siúl abhaile ón scoil |
I was at home on my own | Bhí mé sa bhaile i m'aonar |
I was out with my friends | Bhí mé amuigh le mo chairde |
I was in my friend's house | Bhí mé i dteach mo charad |
The place was packed with people | Bhí an áit plódaithe le daoine |
There wasn't a soul around | Ní raibh duine ná deoraí ann |
It wasn't long until | Níorbh fhada go |
We were excited | Bhíomar ar bís |
I was excited | Bhí sceitimíní orm |
I was on the pigs back | Bhí mé ar mhuin na muice |
I was sweating | Bhí mé ag cur allais |
I was perished with the cold | Bhí mé préachta leis an bhfuacht |
I was shaking with fear | Bhí mé ag crith le heagla |
My heart was in my mouth | Bhí mo chroí i mo bhéal agam |
I was scared for my life | Bhí mé scanraithe i mo bheatha |
I was bulling | Bhí mé ar buile |
I was worried | Bhí imní orm |
I didn't believe my eyes/ears | Níor chreid mé mo shúile/mo chluasa |
I was confused | Bhí mearbhall orm |
I was distraught | Bhí mé trína chéile |
I felt | Mhothaigh mé |
After that | Ina dhiaidh sin |
Without further delay | Gan a thuilleadh moille |
The next day | An lá dár gcionn |
I saw someone coming in my direction | Chonaic mé duine éigin ag teacht i mo threo |
I noticed | thug mé faoi deara |
I heard a strange noise/shout/scream | Chuala mé torann/béic/scread aisteach |
I screamed at the top of my lungs | Scread mé in ard is mo chinn is mo ghutha |
however | áfach |
as fast as lightning | ar luas lasrach |
unfortunately | ar an drochuair |
in the blink of an eye | i bpreabadh na súl |
just in case that | ar eagla na heagla go raibh |
I'll never forget that day | Ní dhéanfaidh mé dearmad ar an lá/oíche sin go deo |
in the meantime | idir an dá linn |
That event will stay in my mind forever | Fanfaidh an eachtra sin i mo chuimhne go deo |
