Hi everyone! My name is Mike O'Reilly and I have a translation request. "The only thing keeping you from being happy, is the belief that you are alone". Thanks!

Hi welcome to the forum Mike,

Munster Irish variation, though literal translation:

"An t-aon rud a choimeádann thú ós ' bheith id’ shástacht ná an chreidiúint/ an tuairim go bhfuilir it’ aonair" (GM)

wait for further input

Cian

Thanks! I really appreciate it!

Fáilte....I'd shorten it in keeping with the more laconic aphorisms of Gaelic.... something like...

"Ní bhíonn uaigneach áthasach"....that which is lonely is not happy....this is just an interpretation mind.

Thanks a bunch! Can anyone else offer any insight here?

The others probably have a much better idea than I have, but I'd still like to offer this, which was suggested by Rossaí's phrase

An té is aonair is míshásta.

It's not a literal translation, it means "The person who is alone is unhappy", it's based on an Irish saying: "An rud is annamh is iontach".

You might also consider something like:

An t-aon rud a cheileas an sonas ort ná go gcreideann tú gur i d'aonar atá tú.
