ok im off in the big america, and a girl is demanding some short sweet irish phrase she can memorise, something romantic typey, and the the first time she asked i sent her asking for permission to use the bathroom, but she found out somehow.. must know someone irish..

thanks but my irish itself isnt at fault, but my ability to say something romantic in our bizzarely poetic yet gutterall tongue

Is dócha nach bhfuil seans ar bith ann? ( i suppose a royde is outa the question.)

Go mbeadh cosa gloine fút agus go mbrise an ghloine (May you have glass legs and may the glass break)

Go n-ithe an cat thú, is go n-ithe an diabhal an cat ( May the cat eat you, and may the devil eat the cat)

just tell her they mean she has hair dark and beautiful like a raven and a soul as pure as the snow.

Mo ghrá go daingean tú,
Lá dá bhfaca thu
ag ceann tí an mhargaidh,
thug mo shúil aire dhuit,
thug mo chroí taitnearnh duit,
d'éalaíos óm charaid leat
i bhfad ó bhaile leat.


Rough translation=
My steadfast love,
From the first day I saw you
From the top of the market house,
My eyes gave heed to you,
My heart gave affection to you,
I fled from my friends with you,
Far from my home with you,
No lasting sorrow this to me.


First rann of Caoineadh Airt Uí Laoghaire.

Or you could try maybe some of Cathal O'Searcaighs poems....
but of course if you wanted something original then none of this is very useful to ya!
Tell her how you feel about her or something to that effect.
Go n'eiri an t-adh leat:)
