Darby OGill and the Little People is a 1959 American fantasy adventure film.
Scannán eachtraíochta fantaisíochta Meiriceánach 1959 é Darby O’Gill and the Little People.
Darby OGill and his daughter Katie live together in the small Irish town of Rathcullen.
Tá Darby O’Gill agus a iníon Katie ina gcónaí le chéile i mbaile beag Éireannach Ráth Chuilinn.
Darby works as the caretaker of an estate owned by Lord Fitzpatrick and tries to catch a tribe of leprechauns, particularly their king, Brian Connors.
Oibríonn Darby mar airíoch eastáit ar leis an Tiarna Fitzpatrick é agus déanann sé iarracht treibh leipreachán a ghabháil, go háirithe a rí, Brian Connors.
Lord Fitzpatrick retires Darby, replacing him with a young Dubliner named Michael McBride.
Scoir an Tiarna Fitzpatrick Darby, ag cur Dubliner óg darb ainm Michael McBride ina áit.
Darby begs Michael not to tell Katie he is replacing him, and he reluctantly agrees.
Iarrann Darby ar Michael gan a rá le Katie go bhfuil sé ag teacht ina áit, agus aontaíonn sé go drogallach leis.
While chasing Fitzpatricks horse Cleopatra, who is actually a pooka (see note), Darby is captured by Brian and the leprechauns and brought to their mountain lair, Knocknasheega.
Agus é ag ruaig capall Fitzpatrick, Cleopatra, atá ina pooka i ndáiríre (féach an nóta), glacann Brian agus na leipreacháin Darby agus tugtar chuig a lair sléibhe iad, Knocknasheega.
Darby learns Brian has brought him to the mountain to avoid his secret getting out to Katie, but Darby cannot leave Knocknasheega as a consequence.
Foghlaimíonn Darby gur thug Brian leis an sliabh é chun a rún a sheachaint dul amach chuig Katie, ach ní féidir le Darby Knocknasheega a fhágáil dá bharr.
Darby escapes by tricking the leprechauns into leaving the mountain by playing “The Fox Chase” on a violin Brian loaned him.
Éalaíonn Darby trí na leipreacháin a chur ag triall ar an sliabh a fhágáil trí “The Fox Chase” a sheinm ar veidhlín a thug Brian ar iasacht dó.
Expecting Brian to pursue him, Darby traps him in a drinking game with a jug of poitín (see note), allowing him to capture the leprechaun at sunrise when his magic has no effect.
Ag súil le Brian é a shaothrú, gaisteann Darby é i gcluiche óil le crúiscín poitín (féach an nóta), ag ligean dó an leipreachán a ghabháil ag éirí na gréine nuair nach bhfuil aon éifeacht ag a chuid draíochta.
Since Darby caught him, Brian gives him three wishes, granting his first for Brian to stay at his side for two weeks or until Darby runs out of wishes.
Ó rug Darby air, tugann Brian trí mhian dó, ag deonú a chéad cheann do Brian fanacht ag a thaobh ar feadh coicíse nó go rithfidh Darby as a mhianta.
Brian tricks Darby into using his second wish to draw the enamored Katie and Michael closer together.
Déanann Brian cleas ar Darby an dara mian atá aige a úsáid chun Katie agus Michael, a bhfuil meas mór orthu, a tharraingt níos gaire dá chéile.
Pony Sugrue, the town bully, learns of Michaels new job and decides to take it and Katie for himself.
Foghlaimíonn Pony Sugrue, bulaí an bhaile, faoi phost nua Mhichíl agus socraíonn sé é féin agus Katie a thógáil dó féin.
He has his mother Sheelah tell Katie of Darbys joblessness, causing her to angrily confront Darby and Michael.
Cuireann sé a mháthair Sheelah in iúl do Katie faoi dhífhostaíocht Darby, rud a fhágann go dtugann sí aghaidh go feargach ar Darby agus Michael.
Katie discovers Cleopatra and chases her to Knocknasheega, but Darby finds her stricken with a fever.
Faigheann Katie amach Cleopatra agus ruaig sí go Knocknasheega, ach faigheann Darby go bhfuil fiabhras uirthi.
A banshee (see note) appears and summons the Dullahan on a death coach to take Katies soul away, but Darby uses his third wish to take his daughters place.
Bíonn banshee (féach an nóta) le feiceáil agus toghairm an Dullahan ar chóiste báis chun anam Katie a thógáil ar shiúl, ach úsáideann Darby an tríú mian leis áit a iníne a thógáil.
To save Darby, Brian tricks him into voicing regret that he will not have Brian for company in the afterlife, which counts as a fourth wish.
Chun Darby a shábháil, déanann Brian aiféala air nach mbeidh Brian aige mar chuideachta sa saol eile, a áirítear mar cheathrú mian.
Since Darby can only make three wishes, all his wishes are rendered void, freeing him from the death coach.
Ós rud é nach féidir le Darby ach trí mhian a dhéanamh, tugtar a mhianta go léir ar neamhní, agus saor é ó chóiste an bháis.
He returns to Katie, who makes a full recovery.
Filleann sé ar Katie, a dhéanann téarnamh iomlán.
Michael confronts and humiliates Pony at the pub, and he and Katie begin a relationship together with Darbys approval.
Tugann Michael aghaidh ar Pony sa teach tábhairne agus déanann sé uirísliú air, agus tosaíonn sé féin agus Katie caidreamh mar aon le ceadú Darby.
