I have a question about the last line. Christy translated it "and love grows along the way". If you want it to be "and love's growth along the way", perhaps it should be: agus fás grá ar an bheallach. In the third line, I don't know what the word igeoir means. _________________ Seans Eile - free software to help you practice your Irish Scéala na Wombait - Muddle-headed Memes and Musings

What does the last line actually mean? It doesnt make sence to me in English! "And loves growth along the way" Should it be, and love grows along the way? _________________ http://web.me.com/somhairle

The second kiss is [for] forever and [for] love's growth along the way. Those last two lines are confusing, though. _________________ Seans Eile - free software to help you practice your Irish Scéala na Wombait - Muddle-headed Memes and Musings

That's pretty much how I read with one small difference The second kiss is for ever and [for] love's growth along the way. _________________ "The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that created them." -- Albert Einstein
