Have Irish poets translated any of their works into English and are they available? |

Dála an scéil, who was Máire Mac an tSaoi's father? A Government Minister was it Seán Mac Bride? |

Is here anyone who can help me translate something in from irish to english?
Tá tu cailine go halainen ar fad agus tá me chroi i me bheal nuair a chonaic me au tarbh in sau pairc.
I've no idea what it means and it makes no sense when I try to translate it...:-)
Thanks a lot

well the closest I came up with is this....keep in mind im FAR from any where near fluent
Tá tú cailín go hálainn ar fad agus bhí mo chroí i mo bheal nuair a chonaic mé a tarbh sa phairc.
the only thing i came up with is
you are quite a beatitiful girl and my heart was in my mouth whenever i saw you in the park.
I'm sure I'm off a bit but I thought id give it a try

Not very good Irish, but it seems to say:
"You are a beautiful girl and my heart was in my mouth when I saw the bull in the field" |

I can't edit my post. I should have written:
"You are a beautiful girl altogether and my heart was in my mouth when I saw the bull in the field" |

Hhhhmm. I can post without registering but I don't seem to be able to 'edit'.
Croga75. Your translation was fine given the rather garbled message. You may be right about 'bull', it doesn't make much sense. |

quote:Have Irish poets translated any of their works into English and are they available? Yes, there are: John O'Donohue at amazon at least in conamara blues are translations of irish to english. and there is lyricline.org although I have to say that I think that translations of poems are in general problematic... bain sult astu.

Tar anuas den muc! Léigh an bunleagan, gheobhaidh tú níos mó tairbhe as. Táim cinnte go bhfuil notaí - i nGaeilge - ar fáil ar na dánta. |
