Irish Translation Forum

Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone could help with the translation of some things for me.

"For Love, Family and Ireland"
"I'm like the lord of the dance, I got moves"
"Child of Ireland"
correct Gaelic for "Irish" ( I have seen too many different translations in different places, and now I'm all confused)

Thank you in advance for helping out an aspiring student of the Gaelic.

A Bhríd an pheaca,

"For Love, Family and Ireland"

I need a more precise context, i.e., do you mean a particular family (i.e. 'my family') or 'family' as an abstract concept?

"I'm like the lord of the dance, I got moves"

'Tá mé mar bheadh Tiarna an Damhsa; is mé atá ligthe lúfar'.

"Child of Ireland"

the children of Ireland = clann na hÉireann
children of Ireland = clann d’Éirinn (?)
son of Ireland = mac d’Éirinn
daughter of Ireland = iníon d’Éirinn

It’s difficult to translate ‘child of Ireland’ precisely (‘páiste’ means ‘child’ but in the sense of a young person and not as the child of a parent, if you know what I mean).
You could say something like ‘bainim le clann na hÉireann’ = ‘I belong to the children of Ireland’ or ‘I am of the children of Ireland’.

If you can give me a more precise context, I’ll do my best to translate it for you.

Ádh mór,

hmm i mean "family" in more the abstract term, more as one would have for a motto. not as in a particular family but family in general. I wanted to thank you for the help, i really appriecate it

A Bhríd, a chara,

Here's my suggested translation (and suggested lay-out - you could centre the four lines)
