Hello Everyone,

My name is Jim and I hale from the state of Washington, where the drinks of choice are coffee and beer. Unfortunately nothing like the Guinness is over there. I am amazed how different Guinness is from the states as to that in Ireland.

I will be travelling to Dublin in 3 months for my 50th. While I am there I am looking to get a tattoo and would appreciate as much help you can provide on a proper translation. I have no experience with the Irish language.

The phrase I am looking to translate from English to Irish (CO) is a song lyric: "Come what may".
As a reference the full refrain is "Come what may. Come what may. I will love you until my dying day."

Thank you all for any insight or help.
Have a great day.

Jim

Focloir.ie has


"Come what may" as

Cibé rud a tharlóidh.

and

Is cuma céard a tharlóidh or Is cuma cad a tharlóidh. (I don't think there's any difference between céardand cad but it's best to get more opinions on this. The second offering comes within the sentence "We'll be here, come what may." - Beimidne anseo, is cuma cad a tharlóidh.

Wait for more input.

Looks goof to me.

pé mar a bhéas , a phonetic guide [pay marr a Vay-Ess] literally "whatever may be "

Thank you all for the great input. I will keep checking in to see what other people come up with. It was recommended to check out other Irish forums to get confirmation on translations, but I have not been able to find any others to actually post questions on. Anybody know of any other forums that would welcome translation questions for tattoos.

Thank you again.

Jim

Thank you all again for your help. Can anyone advise on how to pronounce the phrase, "Cibé rud a tharlóidh"?
