Hello all-

I'm struggling with another translation... The phrase I'm working on is "I am the one who will remember everything" - it's the title of a song by this Boston, MA, folksinger named Dar Williams. The title happened to catch my eye, and not just because it's a great song. As my study of the Irish language is an ongoing process, I occasionally try to put things into Irish as sort of a challenge to myself, but I do need help here, if anyone is able & willing. I appreciate any and all help anyone can offer!

Go rabh mile maith agaibh!

I am the one who will remember everything
= Is mise an té a mbeidh cuimhne aige ar achan rud

Could you say something like: 'is mise an té a chuimhneoidh le gach rud'?

perhaps:
Is mise an té a bhfanfaidh chuile rud i mo chuimhne go deo.

I would vote for this one. (Is mise an té a chuimhneoidh ar gach rud.)

(The one I gave earlier seems at odds with the written grammar, but I have come across it and I give it just to see if anyone else has perhaps heard something similar in Irish.)
