Hi, this is my first post!

I would like to have this song written phonetically to know how to pronounce it in Munster Irish.

Dhá mbeinn trí léig i bhfarraige nó ar sléibhte i bhfad ó thír
Gan aoinneach beo i mo ghaobhar ann ach raithneach ghlas is fraoch,
An sneachta á shéideadh anuas orm, is an ghaoith dhá fhuadach díom,
'S mé a bheith ag comhrá le mo Taimín Bán, níorbh fhada liom an oíche.

A Mhuire dhílis, céard a dhéanfas mé, tá an geimhreadh seo 'tíocht fuar,
A Mhuire dhílis, céard a dhéanfas an teach seo is a bhfuil ann?
Nach óg, a stór, a d'imigh tú, le linn na huaire breá,
Le linn don chuach bheith ag seinm ceoil, gach duilliúr glas ag fás.

Má bhíonn mo chlann sa mbaile a'am an oíche a bhfaighidh mé bás,
Ó tórróidh siad go groíúil mé trí oíche is trí lá;
Beidh píopaí deasa cailce a'am agus ceaigeannaí is iad lán,
Beidh triúr ban óg ó shléibhte ann le mé a chaoineadh os cionn cláir.

Is gearraí amach mo chónra dhom as fíorscoth geal na gclár,
Má tá Seán Ó hEidhin i Muínis bíodh sé déanta ón a láimh;
Bíodh mo chaipín is mo ribín inti istigh, é go rídheas ar mo cheann,
Tabharfadh Paidín Mór go Muínis mé nó is garbh a bhéas an lá.

Gabháil siar thar Inse Gaine dhom bíodh an bhratach insa gcrann,
Ná cuir' i Leitir Caladh mé mar ní ann atá mo dhream;
Ach tugaí siar go Muínis mé, 'n áit a gcaoinfear mé go hard,
Beidh soilse ar na dúmhchannaí - ní bheidh uaigneas orm ann.

Can you read IPA, Irish phonology, or do you want a recording?...

IPA will do, I can read it, it's for my girlfriend.

Take your time a chairde I have all my time

Welcome to the forum, a Chaoimhín.

Ahmrán Mhuínse is a Connemara song, so you would probably have to translate the dialect words over to Munster dialect first, tíocht => teacht, gabháil => dul, etc.

And even then the turn of phrase might not sound right to a Munster speaker ...

Here's a native singing it:

Yes Conamara Irish but the thing is I don't want to change the lyrics. Anyway, if anyone can transcribe it phonetically in Conamara Irish in place of Munster Irish I would take it too, no problem.

I added a link to a native Connemara speaker's version above, but it may have crossed your last post.

In Corca Dhuibhne (Munster) Irish it should be something like this:

Wow, that must have taken you a good while Lughaidh.

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.

I wish I could read it! I feel bad after all the work you went through, a Lughaidh.
