Tá grá agam duit/ort. / Mo ghrá thú. = I love you

This reads more like "May death separate us" out of context.
"Go (dtí go) scarann/scarfaidh an bás sinn" is better.

Please note that when you address someone directly in Irish you use the vocative - a mhuirnin (don't forget the fada) which means little darling and is what is often used in a lullaby for example.

"Beagáinín" means "a small little bit" or "very slightly"
"muirnín" is a word for "darling" or "sweetheart"

could any one translate the song "Bean Dubh a Ghleanna" for me please??
all the translators on the internet didnt recognize the words.
please please please, it would be suc a great help...
thanks!
(here are the irish lyrics)

Tá bó agam ar an slíabh agus táim le seal ina dhiaidh

Ó chailleas mo chiall le nuachar,

Ó seoladh soir is siar san áit a dtéann an ghrian

Ó mhaidin go dtí an trathnóna.

Nuair a fhéachaim féin anonn san áit a mbíonn mo rún

ritheann mo shúil sruth deora

is, a Rí ghil na gcumhacht, go bhfóirir ar mo chois

mar is í Bean Dubh an Ghleanna do bhreoigh mé.

Bean Dubh an Ghleanna an bhean dubh a b'fhearr liom,

Bean Dubh ba deise gáire,

a bhfuil a gruaig mar an sneachta is a píb mar an eala

is a comh seang singil álainn.

Níl óganach cailce ó Bhaile Átha Cliath go Gaillimh

nó as siúd go Tuaim Uí Mheara

nach bhfuil ag triall is ag tarraingt ar eacha donna deasa

is iad ag tnáth leis an mBean Dubh álainn.

Geobhainnse bean sa Mhumhain, triúr bean i Laighean,

bean ó Rí geal Seoirse,

bean na leaba buí a d'fhéiscfeadh mé lena croí,

bean agus dhá mhíle bó léi.

Iníon óg an Iarla atá go tinn dubhach diacrach

ag iarraidh mise a fháil le pósadh,

ach dá bhfaighinnse féin mo rogha de mhná deasa an domhain

is í an Bhean Dubh ón nGleann a thogfainn.
