I need help translating some more lines. Can anyone take a crack at this, pretty please? :)

"Into the elements I reach. With the elements I find. You are my pulse. I am yours. Reach, and we will join."

I've used "na ndúl" before so if that works here, that would be awesome.

And also "mo chuisle." :)

B’fhéidir:

Sna dúile isteach a sroichim.
Leis na dúile a fhaighim.
Mo chuisle thú.
Leatsa mé.
Sroich, agus ceanglóimid.

Sort-of rhyming:

Is trí na dúile a shínim.
Is leis na dúile a aimsím.
Is tú mo chuisle.
Do ghrá geal mise.
Sín amach, is ceanglaímis.


It is through the elements that I reach/stretch.
It is with the elements that I find.
You are my pulse.
I am your beloved.
Stretch out, and let us connect.

Is it okay if I take the beginning of one and the end of the other? Like this?

Is trí na dúile a shínim.
Is leis na dúile a aimsím.
Is tú mo chuisle.
Leatsa mé.
Sroich, agus ceanglóimid.

Well, that means:

"It is through the elements that I streach/reach (with an arm or something).
It is with the elements that I find/discover.
It is you who is my pulse.
Yours (as opposed to anyone else's) am I.
Reach (as in, arrive somewhere), and we will connect."

Mostly it's good, but I'm not so sure about "sroich". Like sroich is reaching a place, but I was taking it that you meant reach outward with something else, like project something or yourself out, whereas "sroich" is geographical.
Also, i'd use sroich with the place that has been reached, so in this case maybe sroich mé, like "reach me", but it's sort of awkward...

Okay, I'll stick with "Sín amach" then. :)

Can someone explain the difference between

agus ceanglóimid

and

is ceanglaímis

???

agus ceanglóimid = and we will join (indicative mood, future tense)

is ceanglaímis = and let us join (imperative mood)
