My friend got a tattoo that says "saol sra saire" but refuses to tell me what it means.

Couldn't find an accurate translation, although I know its gaelic, and wondered if any folks might know how to translate or speak the language. Far shot, I suppose, but he's been teasing me about it >.<

A quick google search turned up "Live (but badly translated, as it means actual life span), love, laugh" (and the last two should start with "g" instead of "s")

On further research, it looks like a widely-accepted bad translation of "live, love, laugh".

Well, I'll be glad to let him know he got a butchered version of the words . Not really, but I do know there are lots of dialects of gaelic, so it might not be the one I initially searched for

Well, just copy/pasting the words into Google, I got the bad translation part, but it seemed pretty common.

Thats what I got too. Seems there's an Irish Translation Forum.
