Thanks for the suggestion, but the trouble is, I don't know Irish well enough to do that.

I think our Connemara-speaking members will be glad to do that (I could make an attempt but I wouldn't be 100% sure because it's not my dialect)

looks right but it's a blend of Munster and Connemara Irish. I don't know what pronunciation should be given to you then

The best way might be to adapt them into Connemara Irish and to ask Bríd to record them for you

grma I think I was thinking of cíos which is why I spelt it like that... is the Conemara part where I used "chuile"?

Some alternatives:

"You Only Live Once" - Níl tú sa saol seo ach an t-aon uair amháin
"Winning" - Ag buachan or Ag breith an bua
"Cool story, bro'" - An-scéal, a mhic or An-scéal, a chara

Thanks Breandán, is that Connemara Irish?
