I definitely want it to have this meaning... as I am currently a dancer and will probably dance til I die! haha

So which translation does everyone agree is the closest to "...and so she would dance" and in the context of the poem and in the above quotation?

Out of curiosity sake, I went on Google Translator (I know it's not the best) and typed in "...agus mar sin dhéanadh sí rince" and it didn't know "dhéanadh". but when I added the "f", it translated to "...and so she would dance". Then I tried "dá bharr" in there and it gave me "...and therefore she would dance".
So I think I'm starting to lean toward "...agus mar sin dhéanadh sí rince" (as long as it's right without the "f").

"Dhéanadh sí rince" is the correct tense here, because its something the girl did continuously in the past- equivalent to the term "used to" in English (but Dhéanadh does not neccessarily imply that she has stoped dancing like "she used to" does, she may continue to dance)- this is why Dhéanadh she fits in well here.

"Dhéanfadh sí rince", implies she would possibly dance if... so she hasn't danced yet.

The problem here is with the English because you have to use "she would dance" for both. And it would be impossible to know the difference between the two if you didn't give the context from the poem. That is why the Irish teacher gave you the wrong tense.

Do you see where we are coming from now?
I fear I haven't explained myself all that well.

so in short: "mar sin dhéanadh sí rince" is perfectly correct

That makes sense to me! I was just double checking! I don't want to get this tattoo and later find out that something is wrong grammatically! That would suck.

Alrighty, so I would like to get this confirmed from 3 - 5 people, that this is grammatically correct! Please and Thank you!

"...agus mar sin dhéanadh sí rince"

Can't wait to get this tattoo! :]

bumbity, bumb

if I could please get a couple more confirmations on this translation, it would be greatly appreciated!

"...agus mar sin dhéanadh sí rince"

Thank you so much!

I think I was the first one to respond when this thread started back at the old forum. My suggestion there was a bit different if I recall correctly, but I can definitely add my second (or third, or whatever) to this version. Looks good

Looks good to me too.

Thank you guys! As soon as I have the extra cash, I'm going to go get this tattoo! :]
