Hmmm... I log in, submit a post, then am asked to log in.
Was I logged out for having taken more than a minute to write my post?
Go raibh mait agaibh!

Dia daoibh! Twice in a row I logged in, wrote a post, hit ‘submit’ and then was asked to log in! I guess I got logged out for taking longer than a minute to write my post??
I guess I need to write my post offline, then copy & paste it so I don’t take too long … OK I did that this time! If the first two times DID post, please excuse me for repeating myself!!

Stephanie is ainm dom. Níl ach cupla fócal Gaeilge agam. Is ceoltóir mé.

I’m writing a song about Samhain, mostly in English, but I would like to use just a few phrases of Irish. To fit the music, the emphasis on the syllables needs to be STRONG-weak-STRONG-weak, or STRONG-weak-MEDIUM-weak, or thereabouts.
Here’s what I’ve got:

Fáilte a shinsir!
Cloisimid sibh.
Siúl gar dúinn,
Canaimid leat.

Which I believe means:

Welcome, ancestors!
We hear you.
Walk close to us,
We sing with you.

(In the first line of Irish, if the ‘e’ in ‘fáilte’ is just barely pronounced, and runs right into the ‘a’, I think it ends up sounding like four syllables, though it would be five syllables if you pronounced it terribly distinctly.)
How’s that sound? I’d appreciate if some more advanced [Gaeilgoirí? Gaeilgoireacha?] could proofread for me…
Go raibh mile maith agaibh!

Sinsir is plural (sing.: sinsear)
So, an imperative has to be plural, too:
Siúil = walk (thou)! (sing.)
Siúlaigí = walk (ye)! (pl.)

Prepositions change, too:
leat = with thee (sing.)
libh = with you (pl.)

The form sinsir is nominative case plural. But here, the ancestors are addressed, so it is vocative case: a shinseara
(The form sinsir is not only nominative/accusative plural but genitive singular, too, and vocative singular, as well, so a shinsir is addressing a single ancestor)
a shinsir! = ancestor! (sing.)
a shinseara! = ancestors! (plur.)

Fáilte means welcome. It is a noun. This welcome is put before (roimh) someone
romhaibh = before you (pl.) You can’t leave it out, I’d think.

(BTW: Fáilte romhat anseo, a Stephanie, )

gar: I am not sure here.
I’d rather say i ngar

Fáilte romhaibh, a shinseara! (romhaibh is one syllable: "roov")
Cloisimid sibh.
Siúlaigí i ngar dúinn, (i is silent)
Canaimid libh.

The meter is prob. gone, unfortunately. Maybe others can help.
