Please, I would greatly appreciate help in translating this quote for a tattoo. Thanks in advance!! "Life isn't about seeking shelter in the storm, but learning to dance in the rain."

B’fhéidir:
Níl an saol ann chun foscadh a iarraidh sa stoirm ach chun foghlaim conas damhsa sa bháisteach.

I don't see anything wrong with Labhrás's offering, but here is a different approach to his translation that I think may be more poetic.

Ní chun foscadh a iarraidh ón mbáisteach, ach chun foghlaim damhsa fúithi atá an saol ann.

Céard é bhur mbarúil ar an gceann sin?

I don't know the grammatical reason, but the end doesn't sound right to me "...atá an saol ann". It should be "...atá ann sa saol" to be more correct I think.

Wait for more input on that.

... atá ann sa saol :??:
Ach cad é atá ann sa saol?

No, it’s the life that is there: Is é an saol atá ann. Agus chun ... atá an saol ann.

I believe, as Labhrás said, that that would be a very different meaning and not quite what was being gone for.

Do we need "ann" at all, I wonder?


Níl an saol chun foscadh ón stoirm ach chun foghlaim conas damhsa sa bháisteach.
