"A chuisle mo chroí"

A common term of endearment meaning something like;

"Darling of my heart"


"Bean ná faol"

I can't make that one out, I'm afraid.

I have never heard/seen it -but the phrase

Bean ná baol

has a nice ring to it.

Woman or Danger.

If you went to a sleepy town.. you could possibly say

Ní raibh bean ná baol ann




Just a wild guess
