Story Transcript:

Ga: Lá breá samhraidh a bhí ann agus bhí an ghrian ag spalpadh anuas ar dhreach ghlas Dhún Chíomháin.
En: It was a beautiful summer's day and the sun was beating down on the green slopes of Dunquin.

Ga: Bhí daoine ó gach cearn den domhan bailithe timpeall an chloch cáiliúil – Cloch Bhlárna.
En: People from all corners of the world had gathered around the famous stone – Blarney Stone.

Ga: Seamus, fear óg éirimiúil lena chairde Aoife agus Fiona, d'fhág siad slí na Gaillimhe go moch ar maidin chun an lá a chaitheamh san áit stairiúil seo.
En: Seamus, a young and adventurous man with his friends Aoife and Fiona, left early in the morning to spend the day in this historical place.

Ga: Ar an mbealach, rinne Aoife magadh faoi na scéalta a chuala sí faoi phógadh na cloiche: "Deirtear má phógann tú Cloch Bhlárna go mfaighidh tú an ghaois," arsa í ag gáire.
En: On the way, Aoife made fun of the stories she heard about kissing the stone, saying, "They say if you kiss the Blarney Stone, you'll find wisdom," she chuckled.

Ga: Ní raibh Seamus cinnte faoi, ach bhí sé sásta glacadh le dúshlán Aoife.
En: Seamus wasn't sure, but he was happy to accept Aoife's challenge.

Ga: Nuair a shroich siad an dún, bhí slua mór de dhaoine ann.
En: When they reached the fortress, there was a large crowd of people.

Ga: Bhí na sluaite ag fanacht go foighneach le scéal a nglóire a fháil trí phóg a bhronnadh ar an chloch mhór.
En: The crowds waited patiently to receive their share of glory by bestowing a kiss on the great stone.

Ga: Bhí imní ar Seamus roimh a sheal.
En: Seamus was worried about his turn.

Ga: D'fhéach sé timpeall, ach b'fhusa dó rós sa ghairdín dris a aimsiú ná Aoife nó Fiona a fháil sa slua.
En: He looked around, but it was easier for him to find a rose in the thorny garden than to find Aoife or Fiona in the crowd.

Ga: Tháinig a sheal agus luigh Seamus siar, chun é féin a ullmhú don phóg beannaithe.
En: His turn came, and Seamus hesitated to prepare himself for the blessed kiss.

Ga: Thug sé a aghaidh i dtreo na cloiche, ach d'fhan a shúile dúnta le neirbhíse.
En: He turned his face towards the stone, but his eyes remained closed with nervousness.

Ga: B'fhéidir gur shíl sé go gcuirfeadh sé le draíocht an nóiméid é a dhéanamh gan aon radharc.
En: Perhaps he thought he would perform the magic of the moment without any sight.

Ga: Ansin, i gceann cúpla nóiméad, thug sé a phóg le croí trom - ach, d'airigh sé bogadh nach raibh cosúil le garbh-chloch ar bith!
En: Then, in a few moments, he gave a heartfelt kiss – but, he felt a softness unlike any rough stone!

Ga: Oscail Seamus a shúile in iomaíocht.
En: Seamus opened his eyes in competition.

Ga: Bhí sé feicthe aige ansin!
En: It was seen by him there!

Ga: Ní Cloch Bhlárna a bhí sé tar éis a phógadh, ach liopaí duine eile!
En: It wasn't Blarney Stone he had just kissed, but someone else's lips!

Ga: Bhí mearbhall ar gach duine.
En: Everyone was confused.

Ga: Ba mhinic daoine ag claochlú thart ar an gcloch, ach ní minic a bhíonn malartú póg eatarthu!
En: People often leaned around the stone, but the exchange of kisses was not common!

Ga: Stad an slua go tobann, agus d'ardaigh gáire as gach cearn.
En: The crowd suddenly stopped, and laughter erupted from every corner.

Ga: Ach ní féidir déanamh dearmad ar Aoife agus Fiona, a bhí ag faire ar an radharc ar fad ón dá thaobh.
En: But Aoife and Fiona cannot be forgotten, who were watching the whole scene from both sides.

Ga: Chuir Fiona a lámh le cluas agus Aoife ní fhéadfadh sí stop a chur lena gáire.
En: Fiona covered her mouth with her hand and Aoife couldn't stop her laughter.

Ga: B'éigean do Seamus a náire a shlogadh agus aghaidh a thabhairt ar an méid a tharla.
En: Seamus had to swallow his embarrassment and face what had happened.

Ga: Seamus, an tusa mo ghaois nua?
En: Seamus, are you my new wisdom?

Ga: arsa an strainséir le gáire, agus é ag sárú a stuaim féin.
En: the stranger said, laughing and overcoming his own embarrassment.

Ga: Bhí an lá i ndiaidh a bheith iomlán le magadh agus gáire.
En: The day ended with teasing and laughter.

Ga: Bhí Seamus, Aoife agus Fiona ag caint faoi ar feadh i bhfad tar éis dóibh filleadh.
En: Seamus, Aoife, and Fiona talked for a long time after their return.

Ga: Faoin am a d'imigh an tráthnóna, bhí an scéal curtha le scéalta mionlach an chnuic agus bhí ceacht foghlamtha ag Seamus gan súile a dhúnadh agus póg a thabhairt!
En: By the time the evening approached, the story had become the talk of the hill and Seamus learned a lesson without closing his eyes and giving a kiss!

Ga: Le briathra deireanacha Aoife, “Ar a laghad, a Sheamuis, má tá ceann amháin de na scéalta sin fíor, seo é an póg is gáirsiúla i stair Bhlárna!"
En: In the final words of Aoife, “At least, Seamus, if one of those stories is true, this is the funniest kiss in Blarney's history!”

Ga: Dá bhrí sin tháinig deireadh sona don lá, le cairdeas agus gáire roinnte agus cuimhne a mhairfeadh go deo.
En: Therefore, the day ended happily with shared friendship, laughter, and a memory that would last forever.
