    "Chan ann le tìm no àite a bhios sinn a’ tomhais an gaol ach ’s ann le neart anama"
    I'll have a go with crude phonetics:-

    chan - ch as in Scottish loch - chan ann = it is not
    ann - own as in town
    le - as in French "le" = with
    tim - cheem (ch as in church) = time
    no - no as in not = nor
    aite - atchu ( a as in at) = place
    a - uh
    bhios - veeus
    sinn - sheen - a bhios sinn = that we
    a' - uh
    tomhais - taweesh - a' tomhais = measure
    an - ung (= the)
    gaol - ao a bit like French soeur = love
    ach - ch as in loch = but
    s' ann - sown as in town
    le - as in French "le" - s' ann le = it's with
    neart - nyarst = strength
    anama - as it looks, accent on first syll. = of soul, spirit

    "sgian dubh" - skeeun doo = black knife

    Hope that is of some use.
