Hi there,

With Valentines Day fast approaching, I was looking to have this poem translated to write on a card for my other half. I would be very grateful if someone could translate it for me.

On Valentine's Day we think of those
Who make our lives worthwhile,
Those gracious, friendly people who
We think of with a smile.
I am fortunate to know you,
That's why I want to say,
To a rare and special person:
Happy Valentine's Day!

Thanks very much in advance, you're doing me a massive favour here.

An Lá Fhéile Vailintín smaoinaímid ar na daoine siud
On Valentine's Day we think of those

a dhéanann ár saolta fiúntach,
who make our lives worthwhile,

na daoine geanúla cairdiúla
those gracious, friendly people

a smaoinaímid orthu le meangadh
of whom we think with a smile.

Tá an t-ádh dearg orm go bhfuil aithne agam ort
I am fortunate to know you

Ba mhaith liom rá mar sin
That's why I want to say

do dhuine annamh is speisialta
to a rare and special person:

Lá 'le Vailintín sona duit
Happy Valentine's Day!

Thanks for your true help. Good to see complete translation for those lines.
