Irish Translation Forum

Hey Everyone,
Wondered if anyone could give me the Gaelic translation of "Life and Soul"

Also if anyone could give me the Gaelic translation of "Never beaten, I will Shine."

Thanks

Since this for a tatoo I am careful of the translation

Life and soul - saol agus anam

You could use "beatha" for life, but beatha for me means a living life. Saol means more your total life. But please await more nmput. If this to go to ink, please be careful.

"Never beaten, I will shine" - I presume this means you will not be beaten and you will rise above what ever happened you and you will be stronger because of it?

Gan faoi chois ach in airde - literally - not underfoot but higher than that (then the foot that didn't care for you). It means you are not beaten by anyone, you are above them

Not true to what you have written in English, sorry, but languages have their own rhyme

Again await more input for others, this is only my opinion

I had the same question!!!

Thanks! It helped me a lot!

When you say, "life and soul", what do you mean exactly? "The life and soul of the party"? It's important to know exactly what the English means.

Never beaten, I will shine - you could say "Táimse gan chloí, sáród gach n-aon" - but the important point is: is the "beaten" and "shine" to do with sport or combat or some sort?
