Irish Translation Forum

i was wondering about some help with a translation

Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind
Take me to a
Place so holy
That I can wash this from my mind
The memory of choosing not to fight


any help is appreciated

Lig go réidh mé
Isteach sa mhaidin
Mar bhí an oíche míchineálta
Tóg go dtí áit chomh
Naofa mé
Go mbeadh mé ábalta é seo a ghlanadh as m’intinn
Cuimhne mo rogha, troid a sheachaint

I changed "Cast" in the first line to a more natural Irish phrase. Hope you don't mind.

Define "cast". It could mean several different things.

cast...like toss....

or how you cast a fishing pole...

or cast off a ship

Those are two different words in Irish.

Cast ( as in a fishing rod) might be Caith ( Throw )
Cast ( as in Cast off a boat ) might be Scaoil ( Release/ Untie )

scaoil amach go réidh mé

téigh go áit chomh naofa mé
Go mbeadh mé ábalta é seo a ghlanadh as m’intinn

so would this work for a translation...i mean grammatically....

I don't like the fact that you have "Amach" in the first line and "Isteach" in the second. They contridict each other. Perhaps if "amach" was removed ???

I highlighted in red a few problems with the text above. The a is a typo I assume. Téigh is an instruction to go somewhere, you cannot have mé at the end of this sentence. It's like saying "Go to a place so holy me". I don't think the g highlighted in red is correct either. I'm not crazy about the an at the start of that sentense either.

Here is a version of my original suggestion with Scaoil instead of Lig.

Scaoil go réidh mé
