En: It was beautiful in the Gairdíní Luibheolaíocha Bhaile Átha Cliath (Dublin Botanical Gardens).

Ga: Bhí an t-am seo den bhliain fíor-dhathannach, le duilleoga ag athrú ó glas go buí agus dearg.
En: This time of the year was truly colorful, with leaves changing from green to yellow and red.

Ga: Bhí sé foirfe don ócáid speisialta atá á eagrú ag Orla, Cian, agus Saoirse: Dia de los Muertos.
En: It was perfect for the special event being organized by Orla, Cian, and Saoirse: Dia de los Muertos.

Ga: Bhí Orla lán de spleodar.

Ga: Bhí sí ag iarraidh an traidisiún seo a thabhairt beatha le dathanna geala an fhómhair scaipthe ar fud an ghairdín.
En: She wanted to bring this tradition to life with the bright colors of autumn spread throughout the garden.

Ga: Bhí Cian, cé nach raibh sé an-dóchasach faoi éirí na hócáide, cinnte go mbeadh sé ann chun cabhrú ar an mbealach is fearr a bhí ar eolas aige.
En: Cian, although he wasn't very optimistic about the success of the event, was determined to be there to help in the best way he knew how.

Ga: Bhí Saoirse ag feidhmiú mar eagraí, ach, bhí sí rud beag mí-eagraithe agus sin scanrúil do Orla.
En: Saoirse was functioning as the organizer, but she was a bit disorganized, which was worrying for Orla.

Ga: Bhí an t-ullmhúchán sa chúlra ag déanamh briseadh síos, le Saoirse siar is aniar agus gan rud ar bith críochnaithe i gceart.
En: The preparation in the background was breaking down, with Saoirse running back and forth and nothing being completed properly.

En: Orla was very worried that the event was failing.

Ga: Nuair a scáth an lae ag titim agus an scáth aoibhne ag tíocht ar an ngairdín, bhí géarchéim ann.
En: When the shadow of the day was falling and the delightful shadow was coming over the garden, there was a crisis.

Ga: Bhí príomh-altóir lochtach, rud a chuir ualach ar Orla.
En: The main altar was flawed, which put pressure on Orla.

Ga: Gan mórán ama, smaoinigh sí ar a cosa féin.
En: With not much time, she had to think on her feet.

Ga: D'úsáid sí bláthanna, coinnle agus snáthaidí chun fís nua a chruthú.
En: She used flowers, candles, and needles to create a new vision.

Ga: Nuair a chuir an oíche tús, ghlan lonracha cothóirí solais an gairdín.
En: As night began, radiant light keepers illuminated the garden.

Ga: Bhí an ócáid draíochta.

En: Confidence in the energy of the new form she had created was evident, and it was clear she had found a new way to do things in the future.

Ga: Le gach duine tógtha ó thalamh na duilleoga dathannacha seo ar oscailt lá nua, bhí an t-éacht buan.
En: With everyone captivated by the colorful leaves scattered on the ground of this open new day, the achievement was lasting.
