A chairde,

Dia dhuit! Tá ceist agam. Déannan cúpla buachaill banda 'soul' i Baile Átha Cliath i "The Commitments," scannán breá le Alan Parker. The Commitments is ainm dóibh, agus... bhuel, ar aon chaoi! Deir Jimmy Rabbitte, a mbainisteoir, linn, "Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud!" (Dúirt James Brown é i bhfad roimh, ar ndóigh!)

Agus anois, mo cheist: conas a déarfá (a bheag nó a mhór) "Say it loud: I'm black, and I'm proud!" as Gaeilge?

Say it loud = Abair é go hard?
I'm... = Is ____ mé?
And I'm proud = Agus tá bród orm?

(Dála an scéil... gabh mo leithscéal, le do thoil! Níl agam ach Gaeilge bhriste, mar níl ach foghlaimeoir mé fós.)

Go raibh maith agaibh! :]

Say it loud = Abair go hard é, abair os ard é.
I'm black = Is fear gorm mé (nó: Is bean ghorm mé)
(Yes, blacks are blue in Irish. The first black men in Ireland must have been very black ...)
and I'm proud (of it) = agus tá bród orm (as).

Níl ionam ach foghlaimeoir fós.
