What is the Irish Gaelic to English translation-Fhir a bhata?

Answer 1

"Fhir a' bhàta" is in Scots Gaelic not Irish (similar but not the same!)

It's from the song "Fear a' Bhàta" or The Boatman:

(Chorus)

Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eileFhir a' bhàta, na hóro eileFhir a' bhàta, na hóro eileMo shoraidh slàn leat 's gach àit' an déid thu

(Translation)x3 Boatman, na hóro eile (just sounds)My blessings of health with you wherever you go

(Verse)'S tric mi sealltainn on chnoc as àirdeDh'fheuch am faic mi fear a' bhàtaAn tig thu 'n-diugh na 'n tig thu màireach'S mar tig thu idir gur truagh a tha mi

(Translation)I often looked from high hillsSo I might see my boatmanWill you come today, or come tomorrow?Sad I will be if you don't come at all

Hope that helps :)
