Close. Bhí mé i ngrá leat uair amháin

That's "I once was in love with you."

Another option:

Bhí grá agam duit uair amháin

You could also put it:

Bhí grá agam duit tráth.
...I loved you once...
or
Bhí mé i ngrá leat tráth.
...I was in love with you once...

...the 'tráth' meaning 'one time ago' or 'a while'

'uair amháin' literally means 'just one time' as in something or an event happening once only and not over an extended period of time...
The rule on the forum is that three should agree on a translation for it to be confirmed as accurate.
