Help with translating English To Irish Gaelic

[CelticPilot]

Could anyone help me with properly translating this phrase from English to Irish Gaelic?

Once more into the fray, Into the last good fight I’ll ever know. Live and die on this day.

[Onuvanja]

That’s a hard one… I can only offer a free translation to capture more or less the same meaning. Perhaps others can do better?

Isteach leat i bpáirc an áir, ní beo duit ach go dtí an cath deireannach. [Lit. Enter the battle-field, you will never feel as alive as in your last battle]

[aonghus]

Once more into the fray, Into the last good fight I’ll ever know. Live and die on this day.

Isteach arís sa bhearna baoil,
san deá chath deiridh a bhlaisfidh mé,
Mair agus éag ar an lá seo

[Onuvanja]

Don’t know if it really matters, but I think it should be “bhaoil” rather than “baoil”. Otherwise, excellent translation! You always hit the nail on the head, Aonghus.

That is one for the grammar mavens.

“Bhearna baoil” is what is here:

Anocht a théim sa bhearna baoil,

Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil
