For all I know, this may not be a traditional Irish toast at all, but as a dedicated foodie and cook it just reached out and grabbed me, so I'd like the translation in Irish. It's quite far beyond my ken so if any of you can assist, I would be endebted. Thanks!

A full heart... Can you think of a different way of putting that in english...
A people without a language of its own is only half a nation.A nation should guard its language more than its territories, 'tis a surer barrier and a more important frontier than mountain or river

Versions of it are traditional, but the "full heart" is wrong.
Sláinte an bhradáin chugat, croí folláin agus gob fliuch! |
