I have two different translations of "Never Say Die"


Abair choíche éag

or

Ní dearfaidh éag

Can you help me someone?? I need this asap... It's for my husband for his birthday 11/30!

Both are wrong!
This is a catch phrase in English, which will not translate well

However

Ná habair "básaigh" choíche

would be an accurate translation

If you mean never give up, a better phrase would be
Ná caill do mhisneach choíche - don't ever lose your courage
