I'm writing a suite for Uilleann pipes and harp.  it consists of 10 short pieces of music, each of which needs a title and storyline.  The titles are titles of poems i've written in English.  I'd be much obliged if you would look over what i've already translated to make sure its right and make translation suggestions for the storylines i haven't been able to do yet.

Go raibh míle maith agat,
do chara,
Antaine

TITLE OF PIECE: An Banphríonsa agus an Píobaire (the princess and the piper)

1. Na Gaineamh Bán Trá Rehoboth - the white sand of rehoboth beach
a piper and a harpist meet on the beach
bualadh píobaire le cláirseóir ar an trá
2. An Aoibhneas Píobaire - the piper's delight
the piper delights in his love
aoibhneas an píobaire a bhaint as a ghrá
3. An Cláirseóir Álainn  - the beautiful harpist
the beautiful girl glows in the  moonlight
breoigh an cailín álainn sna solas na gealaí
4. Cor Aoife / Cor na gCláirseóir - eva's reel/the harpist's reel

damhsaigh an cailín mar áthas
5. Maidin i gCaiseal - morning in cashel
Éirí an Grian thar Tiobraid Árann agus tabhair na siógaí amach
the sun rises over tipperary and brings out the faeries
6. Na Fianna Esopusa - the deer of Esopus

7. Na Glas Páirceanna Nua Geirseá - the green fields of new jersey
