Hello, I just surfed onto this page because I just found out that I am from Ireland and full-blooded Irish (I was adopted) and to make a long story short-in rememberance of finding our this wanted to get my wedding band in half German (my finance is from Germany) half Irish and the Irish part that I want is 'Lucky you'. If anyone can e-mail the translation, that would be great.

Sam

How about shortening your first one to 'Leatsa an t-adh'? I'm thinking of the poor person who has to do the engraving.

re: Leatsa an t-ádh
I agree with Seosamh. It has a colloquial 'ring' *pardon the pun* like "You're the lucky one".
