Prayer Translation to Irish

Hi there,

I'd like to get a short prayer translated, but I don't trust Google translator. Hoping to get clarification for an accurate translation!

"May my thoughts be Thy thoughts

May my words be Thy words

May my desires be Thy desires"

This is the google translation - I substituted 'your' instead of 'Thy' I don't know if there is a proper translation for that.

"Bealtaine mo chuid smaointe a bheith do chuid smaointe

Bealtaine mo focail a bheith do chuid focal

Bealtaine mo mian le do mian"

Any and all feedback would be much appreciated!!

Thanks a million

Dia dhuit, a ohara!

It's a good thing you chose not to trust google translate.  It's good for simple translations but full sentences are more than not incorrect.  I'm far from fluent but I can offer my advice; this translation definitely isn't correct.  All I can offer is to confirm your suspisions of GT and tell you that "Bealtaine" refers to the month May.  I assume that this is for a tattoo?

Hi Ryan,

Yes this is for a tattoo so i definitely want to make sure it's translated properly.

Thanks for the insight!

Not a problem at all.  Have you considered learning Irish?  There's plenty of resources out there to get you started and the other members have much more information on the matter as well.

I have, just not at this point in time. I definitely hope to learn it some day!
