i am getting married on friday and i want to tell my wife a line in gaelic but i dont know how to pronounce the words right, or if ive even got the right translation.. please help me it is VERY important to me... the line i want translated is: "I love you and you are my entire world. as long as my soul exists, its sole purpose is to love you. that's my eternal promise to you." the translation i have is: Is breá liom tú, agus tá tú mo domhan ar fad. chomh fada agus is ann atá mo anam, a t-aon chuspóir a ngrá leat. go síoraí mo geallaim a thabhairt duit.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

Are you after Scottish Gaelic? If so, this is the right section and someone will hopefully be along shortly to help you.

However, the translation you have is in Irish Gaelic (although it needs fixing). If you are trying to get your line in Irish Gaelic then please let me know and I will move your request to the Translation section.

im am sorry i wanted irish

Okay. This was in the Scottish Gaelic section but was meant to be asking for an Irish translation.

The OP wants:

"I love you and you are my entire world. as long as my soul exists, its sole purpose is to love you. that's my eternal promise to you."

Here's a first attempt:

Is tusa mo ghrá agus mo chuid den tsaol. Chomh fada is atá m'anam ann, is é a chuspóir amháin ná grá a thabhairt duit. Sin é mo shíorghealltanas duit.

Await confirmation or correction ...



Just by way of explanation, there are several idiomatic ways to say "I love you" in Irish:

Tá mo chroí istigh ionat. literally "my heart is inside you".
Mo ghrá thú "You are my love"
Is tusa/tú mo ghrá "You are my love"

I've chosen is tusa mo ghrá because it uses the same construction as is tusa mo chuid den tsaol "you are my world" and it was possible to merge the two into one phrase. (What you had, i.e., is breá liom is "I love" as in "I love soccer/pop music, etc.")
