Hello Lads and Lasses or should I say, Dia dhaoibh buachaill’ agus cailin’.
I am looking for a translation taken from a tombstone dated 1904 in Australia.
I gave the person looking for this information the link to Dalta’ but I have not seen the inquiry, so my interest was piqued as I am a bundalta and my Gaeilge is suspect.
It is as follows. There are three lines.
1-Lambh ladher ultagh aboo
2-Let the men die and the women live on in oppression
3-La raid mara na gahran.
The inquirer stated there was a hand holding a dagger or a bloody dagger carved on the stone also.
After reading and translating 35 pages of -Fiche bliain ag f‡s-
My guess it pertains to -a strong hand doing something forever.
The last line pertaining to -a day of stringy turf
in or on the sea for a traveler joyful or not.
Go raibh m’le maith aghaibh roimh rŽ. Bob L.

-Lambh ladher ultagh aboo
Lámh laidir Ultaigh abú - Up the strong hand of the Ulstermen

Line 3 is a phonetic version of something, but I can't make sense of it, sorry.
