Tá an gheimhreadh fuar i mBÁC, ach tá an teach tábhairne lán le teas agus fuinneamh anocht.

Winter is cold in BÁC, but the pub is full of warmth and energy tonight.

Tá soilse beaganna lonracha ag snámh san aer, agus tá Oíche Chinn Bhliana ag cur leis an mothú draíochta.

Small bright lights float in the air, and New Year's Eve adds to the magical feeling.

Tá Aoife, cailín óg le gruaig rua, ina suí ag bord amháin, a haonaránacht soiléir in ainneoin an gomáin den slua timpeall uirthi.

Aoife, a young girl with red hair, sits at one table, her loneliness clear despite the hubbub of the crowd around her.

Bhí Aoife díreach tar éis filleadh ar Bhaile Átha Cliath tar éis briseadh croí.

Aoife had just returned to Baile Átha Cliath after heartbreak.

Bhí uirthi dearmad a dhéanamh, rud a d'fhág go raibh sí leisceach teacht amach anocht.

She needed to forget, which made her reluctant to come out tonight.

Ach, shocraigh sí an doras a oscailt do rud éigin nua.

But, she decided to open the door to something new.

Tá leabhar nótaí beag sínte ar an mbord os a comhair, folamh ach réidh chun scéalta a insint.

A small notebook is spread out on the table in front of her, empty but ready to tell stories.

Ar an stáitse, tá Cillian, ceoltóir áitiúil, ag féachaint amach ar an slua.

On stage, Cillian, a local musician, is looking out at the crowd.

Tá a chroí ag bualadh go tapa toisc nach bhfuil aon phíosa ceoil nua aige.

His heart is racing because he has no new piece of music.

Níl an spreagadh le fáil aige, cé go bhféadfadh an stáitse seo a bheith lán de chuma ina shuí i ngaile na bliana nua.

He can't find the inspiration, although this stage could be full of potential in the glow of the new year.

Feiceann sé Aoife, atá ag féachaint suas chuige idir boladh an dí.

He sees Aoife, who is looking up at him amidst the scent of drinks.

Tá rud éigin faoina súile a bhuaileann é.

There's something in her eyes that strikes him.

Ceannródaí inspioráide b'fhéidir?

A spark of inspiration, perhaps?

Gan smaoineamh, glacann sé an giotár agus tosaíonn sé ag teacht le ceol nua.

Without thinking, he takes the guitar and starts to come up with new music.

Le linn an gcomparáid go am áirithe, réitíonn Cillian leis an nGiotár, sona, fós doirte, is féidir le meon nua teacht.

During the time comparison to a certain moment, Cillian syncs with the guitar, happy, yet spilling over, allowing a new mood to emerge.

De réir mar a théann a chordaí ar aghaidh, tógann sé aoibh gháire beag, aoibhinn ar aghaidh Aoife.

As his chords progress, he brings a small, delightful smile to Aoife's face.

Mothaíonn sí go bhfuil an t-am imithe i bhfad tríd an spás.

She feels as though time has drifted far through space.

Déanann an slua bualadh bos bonn-adhmhadach agus ag preabadh agus ag claonadh lena chéile mar a théann an clog le haghaidh meán oíche.

The crowd applauds warmly, bouncing and leaning toward one another as the clock strikes midnight.

Ardófar géaga le gliondar na bliana nua.

Limbs will rise with the excitement of the new year.

'Seo é,' smaoinigh Cillian, ag cinneadh an t-am a ithe.

"This is it," thought Cillian, deciding to seize the moment.

Agus canann sé: "Is leatsa é briathar an Bhliain Úr seo."

And he sings: “The word of this New Year is yours.”

De réir mar a mhaolaíonn an fuaim, suíonn Aoife síos, leath-bhíonn a croí oscailte.

As the sound subsides, Aoife sits down, her heart half-open.

Smaoiníonn sí, "An raibh mé le scéal, nó le cara nua?"

She wonders, “Was I gaining a story, or a new friend?”

Le gáire cúthail, leanann sí ar aghaidh ag comhrá le Cillian go gasta.

With a shy smile, she continues to chat quickly with Cillian.

Pléann siad le cabhair an t-iúlach nach dtiocfaidh a leithéid dóibh i bhfad.

They discuss with the help of curiosity that such a moment might not come their way again soon.

Nuair a fhágann an slua, tá Aoife agus Cillian fós ag caint.

When the crowd leaves, Aoife and Cillian are still talking.

Tugann siad camchuairt eile trí thopaicí éagsúla, ceann i ndiaidh a chéile.

They embark on another tour through various topics, one after another.

Ag deireadh an phlátaire, malartaíonn siad sonraí teagmhála.

At the end of the conversation, they exchange contact details.

Tá Aoife ag súil le todhchaí atá srathóidh ábhar trom mothúchánach agus nasc láidir.

Aoife is looking forward to a future filled with emotional depth and a strong connection.

Ag bailiú an leabhar nótaí, tá Aoife sásta sa deireadh.

Gathering the notebook, Aoife is finally happy.

Ba ghnách le hathbheochan sa seomra cluthar.

It felt like a revival in the cozy room.

Feicfidh Cillian an saochadh ina phiocadh bronntanas i bhfad mar saothar ealaíne dá dhánlanna.

Cillian will see the relief in choosing a gift much like a piece of art for his galleries.

Tháinig deireadh leis an gclaise snátha briste.

The tangle of broken threads has ended.

Mothaíonn sí go raibh a guth féin faighte aici arís.

She feels that she has found her own voice again.
