MORAG: Nach e an uinneag a tha l脿n deigh, cha mh貌r gum faic mi troimhpe. Ahhh, their mi ruith oirre an ceartuair. Cupa t矛 an toiseach. Deich mionaidean gu naoi, tha 霉ine agam fhathast.

鈥淐ha leig thu leas an coire a l矛onadh gu bh脿rr a Mh貌rag. Cuir ann gu le貌r a ni d脿 chupa, na bi a鈥� cosg na h-electricity!鈥澨�听

Nach liuthad turas a chuala mi Papaidh ga r脿dh.

鈥淐uir ort geansaidh bl脿th an-diugh a Mh貌rag, tha i gu bhith fuar.鈥澨�听

Tha e ne貌nach. F脿saidh duine e貌lach air fuachd, tha radiator set aig a tr矛.

鈥淭r矛 fad a鈥� gheamhraidh a Mh貌rag, dheth fad an t-samhraidh.鈥澨�

Tha e mar sin agam fhathast. Cha d霉raiginn a thionndadh suas ged a bhithinn air a shon, bhiodh Papaidh cho diombach.

Oh! D猫 thachair? Oh, seall an coire! Ooh, tha an taobh a-staigh aige dubh. Feumaidh gun do spreadh rudeigin na bhroinn.

Uill, cha d鈥� fhiach听 dhomh coire 霉r a cheannach airson fad seachdain, an d鈥� fhiach? Their mi leam thermos on taigh.听

Seachdain. Seachdain eile. 脌s d猫idh deich air fhichead bliadhna. 鈥橲 e 霉ine mh貌r a tha sin. Deich air fhichead bliadhna. A h-uile seachdain nam sheasamh an seo air c霉l a鈥� chuntair.

鈥淪eas suas d矛reach a Mh貌rag, dh矛ot a鈥� chroit a sin!鈥�

Tha cho math dhomh an coire a seo a chaitheamh dhan sgudal.

Oh well a Phapaidh, nach iomadh cupa a ghabh sinn on choire ud.

A Pheigi, a ghr脿idh, 's tu dh'fh脿g mi buileach gun sunnd,
'S mi se貌ladh an-dr脿st' thar s脿il dh'Astr脿ilia null;
Tha 'n oidhche fliuch, fuar, 's mi shuas ga cumail air ch霉rs,
'S tu daonnan nam smuain, a luaidh, bhon dhealaich thu rium.

Bhon dhealaich thu rium neo-shunndach m' aigne gach latha,
'S mi se貌ladh a' chuain, 's gach uair gam sgaradh od ghr脿dh,
Ma thug thu dhomh fuath, 's nach dual dhomh d' fhaighinn gu br脿th,
Gum faic thu led sh霉il, a r霉in, nach bi mi fad sl脿n.

Cho fad 's th猫id mi null bidh d霉il am tilleadh a-nall,
Far do dh'fh脿g mi mo r霉n fo th霉rs am baile nan Gall,
'S th猫id sinn le sunnd a-null do dh'Uibhist nam beann
Far am faigh mi ort c貌ir le p貌sadh ceangailte teann.

Nuair gheibh mi ort c貌ir ri 'r be貌 cha bhi oirnn d矛th,
Gun d猫anainn dhut l貌n gu le貌r air muir agus t矛r;
'S ged theireadh an sluagh, a luaidh, nach d猫anainn dhut n矛,
Gun togainn dhut b脿rr, a ghr脿idh, ged 's maraiche mi.

Ged 's maraiche mi tha sg矛th a' treabhadh a' chuain,
Bha 'n iomadach 脿ite is ce脿rnan, deas agus tuath,
Chan fhaca mi ann t猫 Ghallda thigeadh riut suas,
A bhean a' ch霉il bh脿in, chaidh 脿rach an Uibhist nam buadh.

An Uibhist nam buadh gur truagh nach robh mi leat thall
Is f脿inne den 貌r mud mhe貌ir gar ceangal le bann,
'S ma thilleas mi, luaidh, thar chuain an turas seo nall
Dh'脌ird Choinnich th猫id sinn le cinnt gar ceangal gu teann.

Gun sguir mi den d脿n mu f脿s sibh uile dheth sg矛th,
'S gun tuig sibh mo ch脿s 's mi 'n-dr脿st' cho fada bho th矛r,
Ach an rud tha mi 'g r脿dh, gu br脿th gun aidich mi fh矛n,
'N taobh tuath Loch a' Ch脿rnain dh'脿raicheadh cailin mo chridh'.

Joe: Bha sinn ann am Barrie, taobh a tuath Toronto, mar a bha mi ag r脿dh airson c貌ig bliadhna. Agus fhuair mi an uair sin fiachadh ann am meadhan 鈥�85 a dhol a Lunainn, Ontario, taobh a deas Toronto son c貌ig bliadhna. 脌ite br猫agha, br猫agha cuideachd a th鈥� ann an Lunainn a tha d矛reach mar a thuirt mi taobh an iar Toronto. Is e companaidh Bhreatannach a bh鈥� annta.

Bha mi toilichte a dhol c貌mhla riutha a thaobh dheighinn dhachaigh na bu trice an uair sin.

Maureen: C貌 ris a bha sin coltach ma-th脿, a bhith a鈥� dol dhachaigh aig an 脿m a bha sin? An robh e a鈥� c貌rdadh ribh a bhith a鈥� dol gu ruige Barraigh?听

Joe: Bha gu dearbh air t脿illeibh bha n貌isean riamh agam do Bharraigh agus mar a bha mi ag r脿dh riut, cha robh latha a dh霉isginn nach bithinn a鈥� smaointinn. Bha mi ag ionndrainn Bharraigh ged a bha fhios a鈥檓 cuideachd gum feumainn a dhol air feadh an t-saoghail airson obair fhaighinn, coltach ri gu le貌r anns na h-Eileanan agus 脿 ceann an iar Alba, b鈥� fheudar dhuinn falbh. Cha robh an obair ann dhuinn. So b鈥� fheudar dhuinn falbh. Is bhithinn daonnan ag ionndrainn Bharraigh fad an t-siubhail agus mar a听 thuirt faclan an 貌rain:

A h-uile madainn a n矛 mi d霉sgadh
Gur e mo dh霉rachd a鈥� tilleadh ann
Chan fhaod mi feuchainn a chur 脿 d矛ochuimhn鈥�
鈥橲 mo chridhe a鈥� caoineadh ag iarraidh ann.

Sin mar a bha mise. Cha robh madainn a dhuisginn nach bithinn ag iarraidh dhachaigh. Chaidh mi an uair sin gu ruige Lunnainn c貌mhla ris a鈥� chompanaidh Bhreatannach a bha siud ach bhithinn a-null is a-nall a Bhreatann gu math tric.

Agus a h-uile turas a gheibhinn, leumainn air a鈥� phl猫ana suas gu ruige Barraigh.
