Mairtear ach saol amháin.
There may be a better idiomatic or poetic form though.

Not correct. You would say "ní mhairtear ach saol amháin" at least. When u say "only", u use "ach" but you have to use a negative word before it. |

Ní mhaireann tú ach uair amháin.
I'd choose "you" over "one" in this, otherwise you'd have:
Ní mhairtear ach uair amháin
which sounds more like a quote from a biology book. |
