Can anyone tell me where I can find the translation of the song Amazing Grace in Irish and with the pronounciation as well. I am just learning and I am not doing well with phonics of Irish.

Thank you

That is one translation. Accurate but ... I wonder are there others? That translation seems to cling very closely to the English and might prove difficult to sing. I'll be surprised if there are not other Irish versions.

Taidghin, it's sung at mass on Daltai weekends and is not too difficult to sing. I've never seen another translation though I'm sure it exists
