Hi ya'll. Whilst browsing the net for some ideas for my first tattoo, I came upon a site with a picture of someone's Celtic heart tattoo on their arm with the words "Si re ma ni bre ka da" written around the heart. I took a wild guess and thought it might be Gaelic, though I really haven't the slightest clue. Anyone know what this phrase means, cause I'm just downright curious....many thanks!

Ma = My in French

Si without an accent means 'If' in Spanish. With an accent, it means 'Yes'. So it could be a Spanish 'if' too..
