Dár n-iníon álainn, in standard Irish...

In real Irish (Ulster Irish): Donár níon álainn, lá breithe sona duit, le grá. Mam (?) agus Deaid.

Damn, I went away to check something else (do + ar => dár) and forgot what I was doing in the first place.

In Connemara Irish, I think that would be:

Dhár n-inín álainn†, lá breithe sona dhuit, le grá, Mam agus Deaide. (GC)


†Or possibly, dhá n-inín álainn muide
