Song title - translation and/or pronunciation?

Whistle

I’m working on an air with this title:


Ar Éirinn Nî Neosfainn Cé Hî

Can somebody help me with the translation? I’ve checked the Irish lexicons I can find, but the only word they contain is “Ar.” I think the last two words are pronounced “shay hee,” but I’m probably wrong.

Thanks.

The common translation is “For Ireland I’d Not Tell Her Name”. My Irish friends pronounce it “Air Erin Nee Noe’-sin Kay Hee”.

Cheers,
David

This is the way that Dianne (in my band) pronounces/translates it. She sings it on occasion.
