Tine Sa Dioscó Flashcards
I remember well the day it happened
Is maith is cuimhin liom an lá a tharla sé
The disco was black with people
Bhí an dioscó dubh le daoine
We were dancing and jumping back and forth.
Bhíomar ag damhsa agus ag pocleim anonn is anall.
I was on the pigs back
Bhí mé ar mhuin na muince
The fire alarm started ringing fiercely
Thosaigh an alaram tine ag bualadh go fíochmhar
Suddenly a woman spoke on a loudspeaker
Go tobann labhair bean ar na gcallaire
The emergency exits were all open
Bhí na bealaí éalaithe go léir ar oscailt
My lungs filled with smoke and I fell on my knees to avoid the cloud of smoke
Líon mo scamhóga le deatach agus thit mé ar mo ghlúine chun scamall an deataigh a sheachaint
It was a terrible sight
B’uafásach an radharc é
The fire brigade came without further delay
Tháinig an bhriogáid dóiteáin gan a thuilleadh moille
They took out the hoses
Thóg siad na píobáin uisce amach
It was clear that a lot of damage was done
Ba léir go raibh an-damáiste déanta.
The firemen sprayed water on the flames
Spréigh na fir dhóiteáin uisce ar na lasracha
They extinguished all the fire, thank God
Mhúch siad an tine ar fad, buíochas le Día
He gave my friends a lift home and thanked them hugely for helping me escape from the disco
Thug sé síob abhaile do mo chairde agus ghabh sé buíochas mór leo as ucht cabhrú liom éalú ón dioscó.
