Irish Translation Forum

Im getting a tattoo of an irish proverb or bible scripture, but i want it in irish....Can someone please translate these two for me...........


Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death.


Dance as if no one were watching. Sing as if no one were listening. And live every day as if it were your last.

Its from the Bible, Song of Songs 8:6. Some of the crew here have a version of the Biobla Naofa (Irish Bible) so they'll get you the official version.

if I knew what Song of Songs was in Irish

there is no Amhráin to be found here

Look in "song of" Solomon.......

LAOI na LAOITHE 8
6 Cuir mar shéala ar do bhrollach mé,
mar fháinne ar do láimh.
Óir ní láidre an bás ná an grá,
ní doichte an tÉad na Tír an Bháis.
Is tine dhóite é,
sárlasair.

I recently did a similar version of the second bit:

Damhsaigh mar nach mbeadh duine ar bith ag féachaint ort. Can mar nach mbeadh duine ar bith ag éisteacht. Mair gach lá mar nach mbeadh ceann eile agat.

......and I helped!!!! (not oisin's) ok, so it wasn't with the actual translation but still .......
