Hi All,

I've been living in Ireland for a few years now, and the overall experience has been amazing. I've been able to connect with family that I haven't seen in years, and with others that I have never met before.

I am moving back home to the USA in December (very bittersweet) but would love to get a great quote by James Joyce as a tattoo, but want to make sure I get the right translation.

The quote is: "

Quote:

When I die, Dublin will be written in my heart

".

Could anyone help me with the translation?? Thank you!!

Nuair a chaillfear mé, ...
or
Nuair a gheobhaidh mé bás, ...
..., beidh Baile Átha Cliath scríofa i mo chroí istigh.

Thank you so much!!

correction: ... chroí ...

Wait for confirmations.

Fantastic! Thank you for the clarification.

This may be a ridiculous question,
But do you mean that when you die, they will find that on your heart "Dublin" was written?
Or that when you die they will write "Dublin" on your heart?

Labhrás's translation (to my understanding) reflects the first of these two options.

It's a quote by James Joyce, and the way I interpret the original meaning in English is that it should be the first option as well.

Thank you
