Our day will come, Tiocfaidh ár lá
Tiocfaidh ár lá = Our day will come
/chuck-hee awr law/
A word of warning to all who come seeking this translation. It is ‘unofficially the slogan of the Irish Republican movement’ and could potentially lead to nasty political battles if you don’t watch out. Use at your own risk!

I’d be happier with
Beidh ár lá linn.
Tiocfaidh ár lá is terribly non-idiomatic.

Tiocfaidh ár lá translates literally in Gaelic as something like
“our day will be delivered to us” or “our day is going to be brought to us”
Beidh ár lá linn would be a more accurate Gaelic translation of “our day will come”, but, Tiocfaidh ár lá, as the slogan of the republican movement implies that certain groups will “deliver the day to us” and is thus technically more accurate.

To correct the innacurate translation above:
Tiocfaidh is future conditional tense meaning “will come”: tiocaidh ar la does translate literally as: ‘our day will come’
Beidh ar la linn translates as: our day will be with us (future tense)
