Even in the quietest moments you float across the stage of my soul.
In the days since you've been there I've been haunted by your smile.
Imprisoned by your allure your beauty coaxes me to life, and promises hard to keep. Come what may I'll love you forever & a day.

Any help would be appreciated more than you know.

Fiú in sna nóiméid is ciúine, ainlíonn tú ar ardán m'anama.
Even in the quietest moments you float across the stage of my soul.

Sna laethanta ó shin bhí tú ansin, bhí do mhíongháire do mo ghnáthú.
In the days since you've been there I've been haunted by your smile.

I ngreim do mheallacachta, cuireann d'áilleacht an bheatha ionam, agus gealltanais 'tá deacair le coinneáil.
In the days since you've been there I've been haunted by your smile.
Imprisoned by your allure your beauty coaxes me to life, and promises hard to keep.

Go dtaga cibé rud, beidh grá agam dhuit trí shaol na saol.
Come what may I'll love you forever & a day.

Imprisoned by your allure your beauty coaxes me to life, and promises hard to keep. (I'm a little confused about this part )

Cibé rud a tharlóidh, beidh grá agam dhuit trí shaol na saol.

Just a few corrections/alterations.
Wait for more

Thank you all.

I'm very very very new at Gaelic, but would like to learn. I've taken spanish & latin & discovered that, although I love learning the languages, I HATE learning the grammer. Gaelic proves tough for me because of the diferences in pronunciation. I look at the word & think I know how it should sound then realize it's not even close. I'm going to work my way through this & see if I can make some progress in that area. Slowly...

Again, thank you thank you thank you.

Oh mercy, if you hate learning grammar, you're not going to enjoy learning Irish...the grammar rules are convoluted enough to make a saint tear his hair!

Unless you're thrown in with native speakers and given no choice but to sink or swim, I can't think of any way to learn a language effectively without studying grammar in any case.

Something about the grammar being bad enough to make the pope kick in a stained-glass window...or so I've been told. That's what's keeping me from jumping in full force. And the likelihood of finding someone who speaks it well in WY are slim to none & getting smaller, I imagine. I'm keeing my options open & researching them avidly in any case.

Go to the Proverbs section on http://www.daltai.com where you can see and listen at the same time. You can also listen to Gaelic sayings here, but there's a charge.

You guys rock my self-centered, egotistical little world. Thanks for the tip!!!!
