Can we focus on the rest of the poem? Instead of concentrating on a single word.

What a good idea. :yes:

Perhaps:

Tugann brionglóídí fúinn le chéile an neart dom le dhul tríd aon stoirm,
Níl fáth níos fearr le gluaiseacht leis an séar.
Ní bheidh fíos ag aoinne ach thusa foinse mo chumhachta
len bháisteach agus an sneachta a fhulaingt.


Some of those may be dialectal differences, though. ;)

I think "dreams" here, means "visions of the future". Would aislingí be better? or does brionglóidí also cover that kind of dream, do you think?


Lovely. I'd go with Breandán changes.

I thought he meant real sleeping dreams, but if not aislingí is diffinitely better.

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.

And one more verse to do?

Opps. When I copied and pasted the text I missed out on the last verse.



I hadn't seen that the last verse is already dealt very well with and I had the following translation done, so I'll throw it in anyway for what it's worth.

Dreams of you and me give me strength to pull me through any storm.
There is no greater reason to move with the season.
Just know through the rain and snow
no one but you will ever know the source of my strength.

Tugann aislingí díomsa agus díot féin an neart dom teacht trí stoirm ar bith.
Níl údar níos fearr ann siúl leis an séasúr.
Bíodh a fhios agat tríd an mbáisteach agus tríd an sneachta
nach mbeidh fios foinse mo nirt ag éinne ach agat féin.
