| ’Streih lhiam gra, ta dy chooilley nhee cheet gy kione, as Jerdein, v’eh orrin dy heet noal dy Vannin, agh cha row shen jerrey er y Gaelg, son va traa feer vie ain reeshtagh. | I’m sorry to say everything comes to an end, and on Thursday, we had to come back to the Isle of Man, but that wasn’t an end for the Manx, because we had a very good time yet again. | |
| Nagh nee red yindyssagh dy lhie sheese er battey jannoo veg agh loayrt ass nyn jengey ain. | Isn’t it a wonderful thing to lie down on a boat doing nothing but speaking in our language. | |
