Translation please

senordingdong

The translation I got with this song seems incorrect, I think I got an English re-write instead...could someone do me a favour and translate it please...or atleast the last three paragraphs.

An cuimhin leat an grá
Crá croí an ghrá
Níl anois ach ceol na h-oíche
Táim sioraí i ngrá

Leannáin le smál
Leannáin le smál
Lig leis agus beidh leat
Lig leis agus beidh grá

Cuimhne leat an t-am
Nuair a bhí tú sásta
An cuimhne leat an t-am
Nuair a bhí tú ag gáire

Tá an saol iontach
Má chreideann tú ann
Tug aghaidi ar an saol is sonas sioraí inár measc

Céard a tharla do na laethanta sin
Céard a tharla do na h-oícheanta sin
An cuimhin leat an t-am
Nuair a bhí tú faol bhrón

An cuimhin leat an t-am
Go sioraí sileadh na ndeor an ormsa nó orainne a bhí an locht

Ag mothú caiite s'ar fán
Cén fáth an t-achrann is sileadh na ndeor
Tá áilleacht sa saol
Má chuardaíonn tú e
Tá gliondar sa saol
Cuardaimís e

Hope this helps...


An cuimhin leat an gra || Do you remember the love
Cra croi an ghra || Tormented love from the heart
Nil anois ach ceol na h-oiche || It wasn't but music at night
Taim siorai i ngra || It is an eternal love
Leannain le smal || It is a misfortune
Leannain le smal || It is a misfortune
Lig leis agus beidh leat || Go now and be
Lig leis agus beidh gra || Go now and be in love
||
Cuimhne leat an t-am || Remember the time
Nuair a bhi tu sasta || When you were satisified
An cuimhne leat an t-am || Do you remember the time
Nuair a bhi tu ag gaire || When you were happy
||
Ta an saol iontach || Life is wonderful
ma chreideann tu ann || Can you believe it
Tug aghaidh ar an saoi || Your face says that your
is sonas siorai inar measc || happiness will go on forever
||
Ceard a tharla do na laethanta sin|| What happened during those days?
Ceard a tharla do na h-oicheanta sin || What happened during those nights?
An cuimhin leat an t-am || Do you remember the time
Nuair a bhi tu faoi bhron || when you were sad?
||
An cuimhin leat an t-am || Do you remember the time
Go siorai sileadh na ndeaor || when you were weeping dear?
An ormsa na orainne || Myself and others
a bhi an locht || were at fault
||
Ag mothu cailite || Our feelings were lost
s'ar fan || on waiting
Cen fath an t-achrann is || Why were we fighting
sileadh na ndeor || for so long?
||
Ta ailleacht sa saol || There is beauty in life
Ma chuardaionn tu e || Do you believe
Ta gliondar sa saol || There is joy in life.
Cuardaimis e || Believe me
||

Have Fun

this isnt the end song off a final fantasy or some anime is it? ive seen some *great* "translations" of it on the web

edit: acutally looking at the translation there and given my irish is rusty (as in "burnt out tractor from the seventies rotting in a ditch" rusty) but a lot of that translation just doesnt look right

Nil anois ach ceol na h-oiche || It wasn't but music at night
wouldnt it be "now theres nothing but the music of the night" or similar ?


Ta an saol iontach || Life is wonderful
ma chreideann tu ann || Can you believe it

wouldnt that last bit bit be "if you believe in it"?

sileadh na ndeor || for so long?

emm looks more like "shedding tears" or soemthing

Ma chuardaionn tu e || Do you believe

im think this actually means "if you look for it"


Nuair a bhi tu ag gaire || When you were happy

nope thats "when you were laughing"

Tug aghaidh ar an saoi(l) || Your face says that your

pretty sure that means "face up to life" or something similar

Go siorai sileadh na ndeaor || when you were weeping dear?

umm think thats "forever spilling tears" or somthing
similar, not too sure

According to the official translation yes, it's more like that.
But I wanted a somewhat simplified translation of it.
