tar éis an tsaoil is tusa m'amhrán Note that I am only a learner of Irish. Wait for confirmations! An chéad sagart, ba é sin an chéad bithiúnach a bhuail leis an gcéad amadán. Voltaire

m'amhrán v mo amhrán. I think m'amhrán is required according to the CO. However I decided to go with mo amhrán because the two vowels don't run into one another in speech. Maybe I shouldn't have taken the liberty. i ndeireadh an lae is tú mo laoi very imaginative and poetic Warning: Reasonable command of Irish - but I still make basic errors.
