From the Celtic Thunder song: "Come by the Hills" I would like a translation for: "the cares of tomorrow can wait until this day is done"

Thanks,
David.

First, just to make sure that you're not expecting to recognize those words in Irish in the first verse of the song, what happens in the Celtic Thunder song is that the first verse, sung in Irish, is from a song called Buachaill ón Éirne, and has nothing to do with the verses which are sung in English after it (apart from the tune). I saw on TV the other day that, in some more recent concerts, the whole of Buachaill ón Éirne is sung, not just the first verse, and the unrelated English text is omitted.

Understanding that, here's a possibility for the saying you want:

Is féidir le himní an lae amárach fanacht go deireadh an lae inniu
The cares of tomorrow can wait until this day is done [the end of this day]

This is a fairly literal rendering (except as noted above), so in addition to waiting for any corrections people may find to be needed, wait to see if someone can come up with something more poetic. My only poetic flourish (if it is one) was that I used "the end of this day" to create a counterbalance between an lae amárach and an lae inniu.

You have the genitive plural of imní there, a Chaoimhín, and two articles in a genitive relation.

I think the "~ can wait" here is really an idiom for "let's postpone ~/put ~ off/forget about ~". Perhaps:

Cuirimis imní an lae amárach siar go deireadh an lae inniu.
literally "Let's postpone the cares of tomorrow until the end of today."

Thanks. Yes, it will be a tattoo. And yes, I do know that this is not the first verse of the song - which is altogether different. The first verse is an Irish song while the English verses are well, English. More to the point, I really relate to the sentiment. It is another way of saying "Tomorrow will take care of itself"

Again, thanks for the help.

Oh, I don't think it goes quite that far. You will still have to deal with it - just not right now.

To me, it is saying "let's relax for now (today) and not worry about tomorrow until we get closer it."

Both sound like before you go to bed you are going to worry about tomorrow.

I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.

What about ? -
Cuirimis imní an lae amárach siar go dtí go mbeidh an lá inniu thart.
... until today is over.
