    Please don't use Google translate. It is deplorable- you will more than likely get duddy translations.

    Also, flowery phrases such as these don't translate very easily into Irish at all.

    GoogleTrans is just going to give ye a barebones literal translation, potentially losing the sense of the original English.

    OP's better off looking for an "old Irish phrases" website rather than trying to translate, just look for a phrase that has a similar meaning


    eg:
    Níl aon tintéan mar do thintéan féin

    There's no place like home.

    As you can see the phrase doesn't translate directly at all.

    A quick google brings up this one (plus hundreds of others)

    I am at my most free when I sail...

    Tá níos mó saoirse agam ag seoltóireacht ná aon uair eile

    Still seeking Freedom's story...

    Fós ag lorg scéal na saoire

    Still seeking Eagle's story...

    Fós ag lorg scéal an Iolra

    I still want to be crew...

    Táim fós ag iarraidh a bheith mar chriú

    HTH
