I need to get this translated into Irish gaelic correctly. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

| Is it worthy of translation? It's banal enough in English. Having it translated into a language you don't understand might hide the banality from other people, but Heart will still know. |

| I could translate Heart's words into Glaswegian, if that's any help, even though I don't live in the city of my birth any more. By the way, can anyone translate 'I wish you well always' into Scots gaelic for me, as I am trying to impress an English friend with my tender-heartedness and soaring intellect? Problem is, not knowing the gaelic, I could be fobbed off with anything and look a complete fool, which would not be an unusual circumstance in my life. I expect Onny thinks this is banal too. Ho hum. No free spelling mistakes here. Journos don't get spelling wrong, just facts (THAT is a joke). |

Could someone please translate this into Irish-Gaelic for me? "To live is the rarest thing in the world. Mostly people exist - that is all."
This would be greatly appriciated.... |

| How did a Scots site suddenly end up with all these questions concerning _Irish_ Gaelic? Wouldn't you be better asking a site devoted to Ireland and its language? |

| My deepest apoligies...I was "surfing" the web when I stumbled onto this site with the thread of "English to Irish Translation". If my question offends you, please feel free NOT TO COMMENT. |

| I see. Sorry, although I've had many a happy time in Ireland, I can't pick up the language although I speak a fair bit of Scottish Gaidhlig. |

Your question doesn't "offend" me...but I think you'd have better luck getting an answer (one which is more likely to be accurate and less likely to be sardonic) on a site devoted to Irish language rather than one for Scottish and Celtic music.
If you'll notice, from reading the posts prior to your own, no one yet has received an answer to their requests for translations...probably because the majority of the people reading and posting here aren't conversant with the Irish language. Even those, like Hamish, who could assist you did you want Scots, aren't able to help you with Irish.
Oh, and just for the record? Unless the moderator here decides otherwise, I'll comment when I like. |

Ahem. As the only Celtic music-lover on this thread to ask for a translation into SCOTTISH gaelic (please see my previous post), do I get Brownie points and will someone take pity on me and just do it? Maybe nice Hamish, the Skye piper...
I'm with Deirdre on free speech. May I comment on her comment that she has the right to comment on anything she likes. |
