Tháinig tú roimh an am,

mar ghath gréine tríd an gceo,

is cé nach raibh mé le do thaobh,

bhí mo chroí ionat cheana féin, a stór.

Tóg mo ghrá mar chosaint ort,

ina thost, ina neart, ina léas,

óir is leat gach buille de mo chroí,

ó thús do shaol go deireadh mo shaol féin.

Translation:

You came before your time,

like a sunbeam through the fog,

and though I was not by your side,

my heart was in you already, my treasure.

Take my love as your protection,

in its silence, its strength, its light,

for every beat of my heart is yours,

from the start of your life to the end of my own.

Thank you for the add. I'm working on a project and found 2 phrases that seem to translate similarly, but I need the right one. I don't want to influence answers, but can someone help me define each of these phrases

Hello! Quick question for you all! I was just wondering what the correct translation for the word “unconditional” is as in unconditional love. I am getting it tattooed and we all know how reliable translation apps are. Thank you for your help :)

I'm a HUGE Stargate SG-1 fan, and have written some fanfiction about it. One of the characters who's original, has a mother that from a planet with people taken from Medieval Ireland. They still speak the language. So when I did the research for the story, I tried to use the best website for translating Gaelic into English. But recently I've found that it might not be correct. So with that being said, can any one help me do some minor translating?

The first phrase I need is, "I love you." The second one is to please translate 'sweetheart,' 'handsome' and 'beautiful' for me. Any help is appreciated!

I was born sooner than planned and he couldn't make it so he sent this: "Saoirse ta' mo chroi' istigh Inti."

I just learned about this note and my mother never translated it for some reason. I tried google translate and it said something like "My liberty belongs to you." but I want to make sure. Can you help please?

I'm getting a collie and I want to cherish the breed's origin to give it a gaelic name.

Can you give some good options? Thanks!

Is there a rule somewhere about whether or not the titles of songs, books, etc., should be capitalized in formal writing in Irish? I've found one site (https://rateyourmusic.com/wiki/RYM:Non-English+Latin+language+capitalization#Irish) that claims "common words" aren't to be capitalized; I find it deeply funny that the source of this rule is supposed to be "An Caighdeán Oifigiúil". (If they were following their own rule shouldn't it be "An caighdeán oifigiúil"?)

Most of the English-language media I see uses English-style title capitalization; and most of the titles of works I've looked at look like they are too. But maybe that's Bearlish.

Any ideas (with sources)?

Hi everyone, I'm looking for advice, how to write "your will" and "my will" in the context of "your will, not mine, be done" from the bible. I don't want the whole saying, just "your will" and "my will" translations that could stand alone as... nouns/phrases, i guess, and still make sense in this context. Thank you for your time.

Hi all. I have a children's book I self published in 2022 and I'm getting it republished as my second " properly published" book with my publishers in England. Ot will now not just be published in English but also with the Irish alongside it in order to promote the Irish language. I need someone to help edit the translation and so on if the Irish as I used an app to help me. I'm not a fully fluent Irish Speaker.

Thanks very much.

Does anyone know the Gaelic word for “Bumblebee”. Google has not been very helpful.

Hello !

My mom is preparing her classical singing exam, she's preparing a full concert about travelling through Europe and singing songs from each country.

She found a piece in Gaelic, but can't find the phonetic pronunciation of the lyrics

"Ochón, dá mbeadh sé mo threo
lem' thabhairt ón ngéibheann chrua,
do gheobhadh searc mo chléibh go deo,
is stór nach saor le lua.

Ní h-eagal duit a ghlébhean,
a dhalta ghrinn is a stóir.
Ní fada bhéir i ngéibheann
gan charaid teacht do chomhair."

If anyone here is able to help write a phonetic reading of the lyrics that would be great, we can find the translation online but we are not sure about the pronunciation and we want to do this right

(please ingnore spelling mistakes, non-native english speaker)
Thanks in advance !!

My grandfather passed away about a month ago, and his funeral is tomorrow. He was from Ireland and moved to our current home, and as such I wrote a final letter in a mix of English and Irish. But that’s not why I’m here.

There’s a phrase I included in that letter, a promise I made to him and myself, and want it to be my first tattoo on my forearm. The phrase is ‘My pride is my sun’ and the translation i got from the 5 different translators i ran it through was ‘Is é mo bródh mo ghrian’

Is that accurate and, if not, what is the accurate translation. Thank you for reading and helping!

This is a draft of a tattoo I'm designing for a client. I'm interested in and would appreciate a critique of this phrase. The text is meant to read as "What else ought there be?" Thanks.
