Hi! I'm new to the site. I'm looking to get a tattoo for my wife saying "together we are one" in gaelic. Can someone please help with the correct spelling and translation? Thank You, Patrick

Before any discussion kicks off, can we verify that it is Irish you want and not Scottish Gaelic? Also, I have edited your title to include the wording to help people find it in the mix of threads.

HI Patrick,

It is difficult to get the same sentiment across in Irish... Here's my stab but I am not sure if it makes a whole lot of sense. Translation is not my strong point. Wait for some more input please!

Is araon le cheile sinn

But to probably express the same sentiment in Irish idiom, I would say something like;

Tá do chroí (istigh) ionam literally your heart/ love is in (within) me

Is leatsa mo chroí literally My heart is yours

Cian
