Bi/ i do chodladh liom Sleep with me
Ar mhiste leat a insint dom? Do you mind telling me?
Cad is mian leat? What do you want?
An dtiocfa/ liom? Will you come with me?

Nuair a leagan mo chrann When my tree falls
An ndeireadh tusa liom? Will you tell me?
Cad is mian leat? What do you want?
An bheidh tu/ liom? Will you be with me?

Mnل na hةireann (Peadar س Doirnيn (?1704-1769))
===============
Ta bean in ةirinn a bhronnfadh séad dom is mo shلith le n-َl
Is tل bean in ةirinn is ba bhinne léi mo rلfla ceoil
Nل seinm théad; atل bean in ةirinn is nيorbh fhearr léi beo
Mise ag léimnigh nَ leagtha i gcré is mo tharr faoi fhَd

Tل bean in ةirinn a bheadh ag éad liom mur' bhfaighfinn ach pَg
س bhean ar aonach, nach ait an scéala, is mo dhلimh féin leo;
Tل bean ab fhearr liom nل cath is céad dhيobh nach bhfagham go deo
Is tل cailيn spéiriْil ag fear gan Bhéarla, dubhghrلnna crَin.

Tل bean a déarfadh dل siulfainn léi go bhfaighinn an t-َr,
Is tل bean 'na léine is is fearr a méin nل na tلinte bَ
Le bean a bhuairfeadh Baile an Mhaoir is clلr Thيr Eoghain,
Is nي fheicim leigheas ar mo ghalar féin ach scaird a dh'َl

Its called Irish!!

Gaelic usually refers to the Scots Gaelic derivative of Irish or that group of languages generally. Though in Irish, "Irish" is "Gaelige". Yerra.

Créid é no na creid, ach bhي mé staidéar Gaelige sa scoil... Sinne Fianna Fلil etc etc.

[tatum]

A bheil Ga'idhlig agaibh?....Do you speak gaelic?.....S math sin! De' thuirt thu? ah waitaminute...this all Irish....anyone speak scots then? I grew up speaking that garbled tongue..and truth be told...Irish ga'idhlig derived from the Scots..Can a-rithist sin? Say again? Yes many an arguement about the whole who started it first but looking at the geography it seems that scotland got it from indo europe and the norse,t then passed it along. However its all debateable as each has their own dialect. English came from the latin in anycase. It's good to see that any form of the gaelic is making a comeback. Here is a well known joake, it just floored em up in Thurso...

"Co' an caora sin co'mhla riut a chunnaic mi an-raoir?"

"Cha b'e sin caora, 'se sin mo che'ile a bha innte!!"

translation...."Who was that sheep I saw you with last night?"

"That was no sheep, (ye clarty @#$) that was ma wife" badaboom

Mar sin leibh an dra'sda....

I like icelandic (sp?) too! It's a spinoff from the Viking's Danish/Swedish/Norweigan.

Qool!
