I am looking for help in translating and also getting phonetic pronunciation
of the following Irish song.  It consists of the title, a few lines of text
preceeding the song, the song itself, and also a few musical instructions
found above each staff.
I'm in a bit of a hurry because I need to get programs printed for our
upcoming St. Patrick's celebration.
****The phonetic pronunciation is the main objective.****
                                                          
	A thousand thanks in advance to the kind person(s) who come to
 	my assistance...Fred Carberry

    I can help you right now on the translation.  You'll have to call
    me for the phonetics. (822-2253)
    
    Padraigh Aspal Allelluia Canamis le dochas chroi
    (Patrick the disciple, Hallelujah,
     We sing with hopeful hearts
    
    �ist go f�ill, le gl�r do mhuintir
    (Listen forever to the voices of your people)
    
    (agu)'s b� in �ineacht linn de shior
    (and be with us for eternity)
    
    T� rian na naomh at th�r na h�ireann
    (the legacy of the saints is on the land of Ireland)
    
    Rian geal Phadraigh, soisceal D�
    (the bright legacy of Patrick - the gospel of Christ (God))
    
    B�ioch sinne, muintir Phadraigh, Leannaim�s i gc�nai �.
    (Our gratitude (from) the people of Patrick, we will follow him
    forever.
    
    Snake says, there are other ways to interpet the words in a more
    poetic format, but the above is more simple to grasp.
