Hi,
I am from Germany and love Ireland from the bottom of my heart. When i first visited the Emerald Isle for my friends wedding it felt like coming home to me. When i can't be in Ireland i miss it a lot. So i want to have a tattoo that says "Forever in my heart" in Irish Gaelic [CO], to have something Irish with me all the time.
Can you help me with the correct translation please?
Thank you so much for you help in advance!
To kick things off...
I mo chroí go deoYou could also use "go brách" in place of "go deo." They're pretty much synonymous
I think if I were contemplating such a tattoo I'd include "Ireland" (in Irish, that is) to make things clear (unless, of course, you've planned your tattoo design to make it clear). Perhaps something like...
Éire: I mo chroí go deoor...
Beidh Éire i mo chroí go deo Ireland will be in my heart forever
Or...
Bíonn Éire i mo chroí i gcónaí Ireland is always in my heart
Please wait for more input. It's likely there's something more idiomatic in Irish that will express the same sentiment.
