Next time keep it with your original post, OK? We like to keep translations together.

I'm not the world's greatest with pronunciation, but my attempt is:

Lesh nuh LAW-vuh shuh TIG-um muh KHREE ditch, iss KOR-o-neem leh muh GHRAW ey.

"KH" and "GH" are aspirated sounds...as if you started to say "K" and didn't quite close the throat.

Definitely wait for further input.

the "ghh" in ghrá is a soft guttral sound. the "ch" in duit is very slight. the "ch" in chroí is very breathy form of the "ch" in scottish "loch" or german "achtung".
ALWAYS get a second opinion on anything I, or anyone else, attempt to translate or transliterate.
I speak Connacht Irish, so some things I write, translate, or transliterate may be non-standard.
