Story Transcript:
Ga: San Oíche Fhionnuisce é, agus tá boladh an fhómhair san aer.
En: It is a San Oíche Fhionnuisce night, and the scent of autumn is in the air.
Ga: Tá Aisling agus Cian ag an Roastery Caife Coitianta i lár an bhaile.
En: Aisling and Cian are at the Roastery Caife Coitianta in the town center.
Ga: Tá an áit beoite, le fuaim na ndaoine ag caint agus ag gáire, agus boladh caife úr dhóite ag líonadh an tseomra.
En: The place is lively, filled with the sounds of people talking and laughing, with the aroma of freshly roasted coffee filling the room.
Ga: Tá na balkanna crann adhmaid, an bunfuil go bog, ag cur le teas an atmaisféar.
En: The wooden beam ceilings, soft underfoot warmth, add to the cozy atmosphere.
Ga: Tá Aisling ina seasamh ag teallach mór, ag scrúdú léirithe nua de bhabhtaí caife.
En: Aisling is standing by a large fireplace, examining new displays of coffee rounds.
Ga: Is ealaíontóir í, bródúil as a bhfíordhúil i gcultúr an chaife mar foinse inspioráide.
En: She is an artist, proud of her genuine appreciation for coffee culture as a source of inspiration.
Ga: Is í a chéad uair chuig an ócáid seo agus tá sí beagán neirbhíseach ach díograiseach.
En: It's her first time at this event, and she is a bit nervous but enthusiastic.
Ga: Tá sí ag iarraidh ardán nua a chruthú don taispeántas atá romhainn.
En: She wants to create a new platform for the upcoming exhibition.
Ga: Déanann a smaointe dul timpeall agus éiríonn sí bogtha le háilleacht na gceart ar taispeáint.
En: Her thoughts whirl as she becomes entranced by the beauty of the displays.
Ga: I gcúinne eile, tá Cian ag féachaint ar na meaisíní róstála atá ag obair go díograiseach.
En: In another corner, Cian is watching the roasting machines working diligently.
Ga: Tá sé ina scríbhneoir agus ina dhíograiseoir de chaife, lorgn ar nód nua dá úrscéal nua.
En: He is a writer and a coffee enthusiast, searching for a new node for his novel.
Ga: D’fheicfidh Aisling ag amharc ar na pónairí dorcha, rosta gen díotáin.
En: He notices Aisling gazing at the dark, roasted beans.
Ga: Tá sé spreagtha uaithi agus a iompar measartha féin.
En: He is inspired by her and her graceful demeanor.
Ga: Tá náire air mar gheall ar dhíomá a chroí roimhe seo, ach tá rud éigin faoina cuid suaimhneach a ligeann dó dul i dteagmháil léi.
En: He feels a bit of shame due to past heartbreak, but something about her calmness allows him to reach out to her.
Ga: "Dia dhuit, tá do suim agat sa róstáil seo?
En: "Dia dhuit, are you interested in this roasting?"
Ga: " a fhiafraíonn Cian, ag briseadh an túsphol.
En: Cian asks, breaking the ice.
Ga: "Is anuas liom mar fhoinse inspioráide," freagraíonn Aisling go téimhe.
En: "It fascinates me as a source of inspiration," Aisling replies warmly.
Ga: "Tá na dathanna, na boladh, níl mórán mar sin.
En: "The colors, the scents, there are few things like it."
Ga: "Cuireann siad tús le comhrá domhain faoin ealaín róstála.
En: They begin a deep conversation about the art of roasting.
Ga: Labhraíonn siad faoi an éagsúlacht mhín atá le fáil san amharc, faoi na téarmaí a bhaineann le dath an chaife, agus scéalta na gcompánach ar thaofaí an taispeántas.
En: They talk about the subtle variety visible, the terms related to coffee color, and stories of the companions surrounding the exhibition.
Ga: Tá an t-ualach saordhóiseach, go dtí go cliseann an chumhacht láithreach, ag titim an dorchadais orthu.
En: The atmosphere is joyous until the power suddenly cuts out, plunging them into darkness.
Ga: Tá an lucht féachana miongháirí faoin timpeall, ag malartú scéalta faoin mbealach a thiocfaí an radharc iad.
En: The audience chuckles around them, exchanging stories of how such a sight came about.
Ga: I gceann cúpla nóiméad, téann soilse na coinnle i ngníomh, ag scaitheamh solas bog thar seomra.
En: In a few moments, candle lights flicker on, casting a gentle light across the room.
Ga: Ina n-aonar, i lár an luaineach dorcha, is cosúil go bhfuil an t-am stoptha díreach dóibh beirt.
En: Alone in the wavering dark, it seems as though time has stopped just for the two of them.
Ga: Leanann siad ag amharcaíocht ar a cheile, a gcuid cainteanna ag athrú go rud níos doimhne.
En: They continue gazing at each other, their conversation turning into something deeper.
Ga: Tagann na n-eagla chun solais, an diomá a mhothaigh Cian roimhe seo, an sotaltacht a bhí ag Aisling imithe.
En: Their fears come to light, Cian's previous disappointment, and the shyness that Aisling once felt, now vanished.
Ga: "Tá áthas orm go ndearna mé cinneadh teacht amach," a deir Aisling go híseal.
En: "I'm glad I decided to come out," Aisling says softly.
Ga: "Is iontaí an rud é, firinne a fháil i rud chomh simplí le cuairteacht ar an roctomy," aontaíonn Cian, le miongháire lena chéile.
En: "It's amazing to find truth in something as simple as visiting the rocomty," Cian agrees, sharing a gentle smile with her.
Ga: Leathnaíonn an dorchas míchompord ar an oíche ach a mhalairt, bhain sé cothromaíocht as an nóiméad idir an giota agus an chéad chumhacht nua.
En: Though the dark creates an uncomfortable atmosphere, it balances the moment between a heartbeat and the return of power.
Ga: Agus an t-éag jointe gearrtha ar ais acu, malartaíonn Aisling agus Cian a n-uimhreacha, a chroíthe líonta le gean nua.
En: With the short outage over, Aisling and Cian exchange numbers, their hearts filled with newfound affection.
Ga: Tugann a gcomhrá neart dóibh.
En: Their conversation brings them strength.
Ga: Tá inspioráid úr i gceann Aisling anois, agus i Cian, tagann dóchas as cuireadh oscailte isteach ina scéal.
En: Fresh inspiration blooms in Aisling, while Cian finds hope in an open invitation into his story.
Ga: Titeann an dorchadais tóirc na ndaoine ach fós amach, tá solas deas ann mar a áit oscailte.
En: As the darkness recedes, there remains a pleasant light in the cozy space around them.
