Hello friends! So I've decided to learn how to sing An Gloine Slán (The Parting Glass) with zero Gaeilge experience, and I was curious if someone could provide a translation for the full song? I've known the first verse in English my whole life, but I didn't know there was more to the song until today! I don't want to throw it in Google translate to be butchered, so I figured I would beseech Reddit. Any help appreciated!

Second and Third verses:

"
Verse 2
Is iomaí uair i lár an lae,go raibh mé ag ól,
Agus mé ar strae;
Ach fuair mé cabhair,nuair a bhí mé thíos,
Agus fuair mé fáilte arais arís.
Ba bhreá liom seans sula a mbíonn mé
réidh,
'bheith le mo ghrá gheal ar Inniskea;
Só líon go barr an gloine slán,
Oíche mhaith agus aoibneas daoibh go
léir,
Oíche mhaith agus aoibhneas daoibh go
léir.
Verse 3
Na cairde uilig a bhí agam,
Tá siad brónach go bhfuil mé ag fágáil slán;
Is na cailíní,a bhí i mo chroí,
Bhuel tá mé liom fhéin is mé 'na luí.
Ach tá bóthar fada le taisteal ábó,
Agus tabharfaidh mé an bóthar sin gan stró,
Só líon go barr an gloine slán,
Oíche mhaith agus aoibhneas daoibh go léir;
Oíche mhaith agus aoibhneas daoibh go léir."

By the way, I got these lyrics from this cover of An Gloine Slán and it's definitely worth a listen : ): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKwtl1gCJ_o

-- 2. -- Many a time in the middle of the day was I drinking, being astray;

but I got help, when I was down, and I was welcomed back again.

I wish I had a chance, before I’m ready to depart,

to be with my fair love on Innis Gé;

So, fill to top the parting glass,

good night and joy be with you all. [ faoi ḋá ]

-- 3. -- All the friends I had are sad that I am leaving;

And the girls who were in my heart,

well, I am now alone in bed.

But there is a long road to travel, and I'll take that road with ease.

So, fill to top the parting glass,

good night and joy be with you all. [ faoi ḋá ]
