Here's another frequently requested phrase:

"I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine"

I have seen Le mo ghrása mise, agus liomsa mo ghrá for this, but the second part comes across to me like "my love is my own", i.e., not my lover but the love itself. Does anyone else think that? (or am I overthinking again? )

If we use searc instead, would it be any different? :

Le mo shearc mise, agus liomsa mo shearc "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine"

I ask this because I thought searc was just "beloved one" but apparently it also means the love itself.

Any thoughts?

(Edited to fix quote)

Out of An Bíobla Naofa, I believe it's how you have it there the first way,(albeit with 'ghrása' in the first half). Maybe that's why we always see it translated that way.

Thanks, pennyrat. Makes sense. Never even thought of it coming from the Bible.

Here it is:

LAOI na LAOITHE 6:3 (Song of Solomon 6:3)

Le mo ghrása mise, agus liomsa mo ghrá

Sandy and I have that on our Wedding Rings in Hebrew.

Is iontach an rud é sin, a Fhéabair ! Cén cuma atá air i nEabhrais, meastú ?

Here is the Irish version in old font:

Le mo ġrása mise, agus liomsa mo ġrá

Seo an leagan go direach atá againn. Cheannaigh muid iad dár gcúig bliana is fiche cothrom an lae. Taitníonn iad linn go mór. (our others shrank after 25 years of marriage....hee hee) Níl a fhios agam cad é mar a dearfa seo i nGaeilge.

It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.
