Hey guys,

although I know that this has nothing to do with lyrics, I really need your help, because I know noone who can speak or understand any Irish.

So, can anyone tell me what this means:

N�r laga� Dia do l�mh!

It would be really nice, thank you guys!

Welcome to our forum!

QUOTE
N�r laga� Dia do l�mh!


..well...

Dia = God
l�mh = hand
do = your
laga� = weaken
n�r = "may not" (in this construction)

lit.: "May God not weaken your hand."
So this would be translated as "May God strengthen your hand", "More power to you".

Here is a small pronounciation guide for this sentence.
[naar lagee die do laav]
...or something similar... hard to render irish pronounciation in english words... ;)

Sl�n...
