What about meidhreach for merry?
meidhreach would also work.
Some traditional dance tune names where the English is "Merry" have
súgach in the Irish and others
meidhreach, e.g.,
An Fiagaí Súgach "The Merry Huntsman",
Buachaillí Meidhreacha Bhaile Fhobhair "The Merry Boys of Fore", etc.
Some tune names also use
aerach for "merry", e.g.,
Aimsir Aerach na Cásca, but
aerach means "gay" and has now taken on the same connotations as the English, at least by some speakers.
