Re: Translation Request: Heaven's Song
Couple of options:
Amhráin Neimhe
Amhráin na bhFlaitheas
To clarify: "Neamh" (genitive "Neimhe") is plain ol' bog standard "Heaven." "Na Flaithis" (genitve "na bhFlaitheas"), literally "the sovereignities," is a poetic name for "Heaven" that you'll find quite frequenly in songs...thus it would be my first choice for something like this, unless you like the sound or look of the other better.
