    "Digital Love" in Irish?

    OK, I am no Gaelgóir but I am trying to learn Irish, and in doing so have searched for music I might like in Irish. I didn't really find any. Or at least not much. So I decided to take a song I do like that has relatively simple lyrics and translate it as best I could into Irish. I took Digital Love by Daft Punk.
    Now I need actual Gaelgóirs to check it out for me and tell me what doesn't make sense and give me suggestions about how to make it better. Keep in mind poetic license. Daft Punk are French, so the original English lyrics weren't always grammatically bang on either! :p Anyway, here it is:

    -Grá Digiteach-
    Aréir, rinne mé briongóid fút,
    San brionglóid seo, táim ag damhsa leatsa,
    agus tá cuma mar atá gach duinne craic acu,
    An mothú seo, táim ag fanacht chomh fhada.

    Ná stop, tar beagán níos gaire,
    Jeamálaimid, éiríonn an rithim láidir,
    Níl sé go holc, beagán spraoi a dhéanamh,
    Bhíamar ag damhsa i rith na hoíche.

    Seo an t-am ceart, mó lámha a cur timpeall thú,
    Mothíonn tú ceart, déanann tú é freisin,
    Ach go tobann, mothím an ghrian ag taitneamh,
    roimh i bhfad, bhí an brionglóid imithe.

    *CURFÁ*

    Ó, Níl 'fhios a'm cad a dhéanamh,
    faoin brionglóid seo agus thú,
    's mían liom go bhfuil sé (ag) fíorú.

    Ó, Níl 'fhios a'm cad a dhéanamh,
    faoin brionglóid seo agus thú,
    Tá uaim go bhfuil sé (ag) fíorú.

    (2X)Cén fáth nach imríonn tú?
