I'm looking to translate a line from a song by The Clash to use in a tattoo.
From the first line of Janie Jones.
He's in love with the Rock N Roll world.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers, Paul.

Antoin, i take it then that this sentence in Gaelic the word world would come before rock n roll.
ie. He's in love with the world of rock n roll ?? and rock n roll would have no translation ? Cheers, Paul. |

"Rock music" is translated as "rac ceol," I believe, but I'm not sure that correlates directly to "rock and roll," since it refers to the music itself, and not necessarily the lifestyle it embodies.

I wouldn't use "i ngrá le" in any context other than romantic love. If I heard it used in the sense "really enjoys", I'd regard it as Béarlachas. Maybe: "tá a chroí i saol an Rock 'n' Roll"? "Níl ach líon beag fear ar aithne againn, agus líon mór cótaí is brístí." Thoreau

Yep, best to avoid béarlachas...
Rock 'n' Roll is Rac is Roll in Irish Another way, perhaps Tá sé i ngreim ag saol an Rac is Roll - He's obsessed by the Rock 'n' Roll world |

Hi, I've had two translations to the following if someone could check this and get back to me before I tattoo and screw up.
He's in Love With The Rock N Roll World 1. Ta' se i ngra saol an rock n roll 2. Ta' me i mo gra leis domhain rock agus roll As you can see not quite the same, ? I'm also trying to follow the thread, appologies if I've broken any protocol, I've copied this over from a previous attempt. Cheers, Paul. _________________ Gabba,Gabba, Hey !! Gabba,Gabba, Hey !!
