An Gnáthrud le Deirdre Ní Ghrianna Flashcards
This story is a love story and a tragedy also
Is scéal grá é an scéal seo agus is tragóid é freisin
Jimmy is a good husband and a loving father
Fear céile maith agus athair grámhar atá in Jimmy
Sarah is a wife and a loving mother
Bean chéile agus máthair ghrámhar atá in Sarah
Violence of the north ruins this ordinary family life
Mhill foréigean an tuaiscirt saol na gnáthchlainne seo
The life Jimmy has is the life he wants
An saol atá ag Jimmy, is é sin an saol atá uaidh
Jimmy feels guilty in the bar
Mothaíonn Jimmy ciontach sa bheár
Jimmy prefers to be at home holding the children to his heart, singing to them and listening to them babbling
B’fhearr le Jimmy a bheith sa bhaile ag teannadh na bpáistí lena chroí, ag canadh dóibh agus ag éisteacht leo ag plobaireacht
The violent end to the story takes us by surprise
Tagann críoch fhoréigneach an scéil aniar aduaidh orainn
Jimmy is lost in his thoughts of Sarah
Tá Jimmy caillte ina smaointe ar Sarah
We have pity for Sarah and for the kids because we understand their loss
Tá trua an domhain againn do Sarah agus do na páistí mar tuigimid a gcaillteanas
