Can anyone interpret what David Norris says at the start of his speech to Gay Pride, YouTube URL below

: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-D4mf6- ... ata_player

By the way, he only says 3 or 4 lines, the rest is in English. Just stating this in case anyone saw the10 minutes and thought it was all in Irish :p

My Irish is so poor I could only understand "Go raibh maith agat".......bla bla.....then all else sounded like English.

I couldn't figure out all of it but here's what I could. The .... indicates missing parts. Lots of cheering over some of the words.

Go raibh míle maith agaibh. (Thank you - plural)
Go raibh míle maith agaibh.
Dia daoibh (Hello - plural)
Dia daoibh, a chairde...... (Hello friends - plural)
Dia daoibh, a chairde go léir
a chairde....... tríd an domhain ar fad
Lá breá grianmhar, áthasach, ...... seo (Fine, sunny day
Agus tá mé ana-bhródúil ar fad ....... ana tábhachtach .....seo sa Bhaile Átha Cliath (I'm very proud....very important....here in Dublin)

Hello Dublin.....

Jeez, the quality of the recording doesn’t exactly make it easier …

Here’s what I could get (I think):



Translated:

“Thank you all … thank you all …

Hello!

Hello, my gay (or Gael?) friends; friends everywhere; (bosom?) friends all over the world.

It’s a beautiful, sunny, happy day (for this?) [gay … ???].

And I am so very proud to be here with you on this special, truly important, happy occasion for Dublin!”
