Hello! I was wondering if someone could possibly help me translate "dream on"
It's part of the lyrics for the Aerosmith song...and if anyone is unfamiliar with the song the part I am referring to is: Dream on,
Dream until your dreams come true.
Thank you so much in advance!

There's a pun in the song that doesn't really work outside of English.

"Dream on" usually means "yeah right, it'll never happen." But "dream until your dream comes true" turns that around. Any Irish phrase you get probably won't capture both meanings of the song title. It will be one or the other.

Translations such as these are notoriously difficult to translate because its an English idiom that has a specific meaning. But when directly translated into another language it will loose the meaning it has as an idiom of English. This is with all languages not just Irish. If you asked a Spanish or German person to translate "Dream On" directly the meaning or sentiment wouldn't carry through.

Its going to have to be altered for it to work correctly.

As suggestions:

Creid ionat/ ort féin? (not confident with this one): believe within/ in yourself (Dream on)

Lean (ar) d' aisling: follow your vision/ dream
Lean (ar) do thaibhreamh/ bhrionglóid: Follow your dream

Tapaigh d' aisling: sieze your vision/ dream
Tapaigh do thaibhreamh/ bhrionglóid: sieze your dream

Wait for more input!
