now if i just knew how to pronounce it

Here are some sound files for Connemara-style pronunciation:

Ná bíodh amhras ort choíche
naw BEEKH AV-rhuss ort KHWEE-hhih
/Nɑ: b´i:x æ:w´r´əs ort xi:x´ə/

is tusa mo chroí agus mo shaol.
iss TOO-suh muh KHREE oguss muh HEEL
/is tusə mə xri: ogəs mə hi:L/


NOTES:

The broad ch /x/ (kh in my phonics) is like the ch in loch /lox/ (lokh), never like a k sound. It may help to think of a very breathy h pronounced deep in the throat. Could also be described as the sound people make when clearing phlegm from the throat.

The slender ch /x´/ (hh in my phonics) is like the hissy h in "human".

The dh at the end of bíodh is pronounced like a ch.

Amhras is pronounced as if spelled aimhreas in Connemara.

Broad r is flapped like the Scottish English r (strangely enough, NOT at all like the Irish English r).

Slender r in the middle or at the end of a word in Irish has a buzz somewhat like the French j in je, which I have written as "rh" in the phonics.


That should get you started, but a sound file from Bríd would be even better.
