Hi guys,
just wanting a quick translation if possible please :)

I'm wanting "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift" translated directly in Gaelic if possible.

Cheers :)

Maybe Is caillte inné, is gan fionnachtain amárach Wait for more opinions, though. Mine sounds a bit awkward.

a direct translation wouldn't work here, both for meaning and alliteration.
History and mystery doesn't mean the same things in Irish.

maybe someone could come up with something similar - nice challenge

Is sceal é an lá inné, is rún é an lá amárach, is beannacht é an lá inniu.
Yesterday is a story, tomorrow is a secret, today is a blessing.

There is I think an Irish proverb that covers this but I can't for the life of me remember it. Maybe someone else knows it.
