If you mean the Gaelic language there are actually three versions of it. Some words will be the same in all three varieties. The three types of Gaelic are Irish, Scottish, and Manse ( more a Welsh variety) Since I am about one-fourth Irish and one fourth Scottish, what I have tattooed on my arm is kinda a combination.( My other bloods are Italian and Czech/Slovak.)
Here's a homework assignment since you can get much of the Gaelic dictionary on line. Keep in mind, my Gaelic came from a dictionary at the library about 20 years ago. The occasion was the handling of my 75 corpse. ( No I don't kill people)
Here it is:
Mi Tuig Aog Ach Anna Mian Air Son Beatha. One clue is Gaelic for whiskey was Uisge beatha. Later shortened to Whiskey. Have fun I wish I knew more Gaelic.

Gaelic.The Celts comprised the gaels in Ireland and Scotland,the welsh in Wales,the manx on the Isle of Man,the bretons in Britanny,the cornish in Cornwall...In gaelic ,the letter "c" is pronounced as we pronounce the letter "k",there is no letter "k" in the gaelic alphabet.I know words ,phrases and expressions ,but I am not conversant.My grand-parents were fluent speakers,but ,unfortunately,only used the language to keep secrets from their children,and the use of the language was ridiculed and punished by the nuns in school,so,my mother did not acquire Gaelic,and I did not become aware of it's existence until I was in my twenties,although I remember my Grandfather talking in his sleep strange words I could not understand.
