My mother is an artist and made me something many years ago that I look at every day. I would like to have it tattooed in Gaelic but have yet to find the correct translation. The words are:
"One day at a time, Sweet Jesus, thats all I'm asking of you" |

Lá amháin sa turas,
A Íosa Mhilís,

Wait for the proofreaders! |

Those words are the refrain to a very popular Baptist hymn...I can remember singing it frequently (and loudly) albeit horridly off key!!
Is minic a bhris beál duine a shrón.
Fáilte roimh cheartú, go deo.

Didn't Anne Murray sing it too? I remember those albums being advertised on television when I was a kid. |

Do you know if that is a literal translation of the phrase?? |

Lá amháin sa turas,
A Íosa Mhilis,
sin an méid a iarraim ort.
That is as accurately as it can be translated, given different idioms.
Lá * amháin * sa turas
Day * single * at a time
A Íosa * Mhilis,
Jesus (vocative) * sweet
sin * an méid * a iarraim * ort
that * is all * I ask * of you |
