Default The Blower's Daughter. In Irish?

I was wondering if anybody out there who was fluent in Irish could possibly translate the Blower's Daughter into Irish for me. ya see i have this little project where i play a particular song for a particular person in my circle of friends. ya know to make them feel special or whatever. i have chosen The Blower's Daughter for one of my friends and she loves it but i would really love if i could sing it to her as Gaeilge. and plus, it would go down very well on a drunken night out.
