It may be, but if I were trying to translate "Fighting Irish" I'd probably come up with Éireannaigh ar troid (but then again, I'm learning) David The following is a signature: How to Ask Questions The Smart Way Always wait for confirmation on my translations!

Hello I'm coming across Éireannaigh Trodacha as the way to say this. At least when the adjective trodach is used to mean combative/pugnacious/quarrelsome. What you already have might be more authentic though Please wait for more Once, as a child, out in a field of sheep/Thomas Hardy pretended to be dead/And lay down flat among their dainty shins. In that sniffed-at, bleated-into, grassy space/He experimented with infinity/His small cool brow was like an anvil waiting For sky to make it sing the prefect pitch/Of his dumb being, and that stir he caused/In the fleece-hustle was the original Of a ripple that would travel eighty years/Outward from there, to be the same ripple/Inside him at its last circumference.
