Irish Translation Forum

Hey all, I'm a songwriter and I have run into a snag. I need two phrases translated into Gaelic. The first is "The Queen of the Faeries," and the second is "The Lord of the Dead."

Thanks.

The Queen of the Fairies: Banríon na Sióg

The Lord of the Dead: Tiarna na nDaoine Mairbh (I think. That comes out to "The Lord of the Dead People." I'm not sure if you can just say "The Lord of the Dead" -- if so, I think it would be "Tiarna na Marbh." Or maybe "The Lord of Death": "Tiarna an Báis")

Wait for further input.

Yes. "Tiarna na Marbh" could be used.

The Lord of Death = Tiarna an Bháis

Go raibh maith agat [Redwolf whacks self on head and repeats "lenite the masculine in the genitive" multiple times]

I'm learning from what everyone else asks! I know you, Coyote Run, did you get my private message? Have a great day, everyone.

Many thanks for your timely assistance.
