I need to know how to say "Live and let live, we are not eternal" in Irish . It is a very special phrase to me and i am hoping to have it tatooed.
Thanx so much!

A literal translation of the phrase "Live and let live, we are not eternal" - Mair agus lig maire, níl síoraíocht againn.
A more colloquial way of saying "Live and let live" in Irish is - Ceart dom, ceart duit - which literally translates to - I'm right, you're right.

I just did a google search on Irish translation and came up with some interesting results.
Here is the first one: http://www.irishgaelictranslator.com/
Here's a dictionary (be careful, dictionary words don't account for grammar and usage: http://www.englishirishdictionary.com/
Lots of other resources popped up too. Good luck.

http://www.irishgaelictranslator.com/ is where you get real Irish speakers to translate for you.
I would not recommend for you to use the dictionary, Irish is very tricky, you can't just translate English words and stick them together.
