Hello. If anyone has the time, could you please translate this poem into Irish/Gaelic? I have an Irish dictionary, but I still need help. For "siren," I am talking about the mythological creature.
Siren The sun's reflection covers the sea. Ride these golden tides to me. The shore holds no peace for you. Take a rest from these violent waves. Swim into my open arms, and let my song calm your weary heart... Thanks! |

new daughter
I was recently blessed with a second daughter and am wondering the translation
for "my daughters, my life". Is it Mo chailiní, mo shaol? Thank you kindly |

I've been looking for a good Irish word for "Shepherd" (translating a
character's name). Consulting a few online dictionaries I've come up with a few options but it's not clear to me what the difference in meaning or nuance is between them, so I'm not sure which one suits my purposes best - or maybe there's another I haven't found that's better. Can anyone help? I'm hoping to find the kind of shepherd as described in the parable of the Good Shepherd - a protector of the herd, not just a guy who happens to be in charge of some sheep. Also, the older the word the better. The options so far: oegaire/augaire fothrétaid cáerchaire (cáera?) Also I found the following words for a shepherd's staff - anyone know the difference between them? stáinse cammóc Thanks in advance! Catachrest |
