I have run across a word that is used to reference ravens, Banphrionsai, and I would like to know what it means. I cannot find the word in my Irish dictionaries (Online or the printed kind)

Banphrionsa means princess. Not sure about the reference to ravens

Well I hope this puts you out of your misery : -
Slán go fóill means "Goodbye for now"
Erin Go Bragh sort of means "Ireland Forever"
Tiocfaidh Ár Lá means "Our day will come"
When your friend next annoys you, say:
"Na dean sin" (pronounced "naw dane shin" which means "Don't do that!" If that don't work, try:
"Bi samhach!" pronounced "bee zoww ock" which means "Be Quiet!" or "Dún do bheal!" (pronounced "dooin duh vale!" which means "shut your mouth!" to see if your friend really understands Gaelic".
If he/she DOES then try "Tá grá agam duit!" (pronounced "taw graw agg um dwit") which means "I love you!!" That is sure to smooth out a tense moment :)

Would somebody have the english version of the following:
Fiche bliain ag fás,
Fiche bliain fé bhláth,
Fiche bliain ag meath,
Is fiche bliain gur cuma ann nó as

20 years growing
20 years in flower
20 years fading
and 20 years when it doesn't matter if (you're) here or gone
A charming ageist saying :)
The last line should really be - and 20 years when *you* don't give a damn.
