Answer 1

Irish is of course a language (gaelic is not).

For Love Lost = Ar son Ghrá Caillte

It sort of means "on behalf of love lost"

Answer 2

Irish... you mean Gaelic?

If that is indeed what you mean Gaelic is a dead language. Meaning very few people speak it anymore.

do grá caillte

This is the best I got for you, but don't hold me to it.

Mmmm... try learning your history. Gaelic is a language... and  Irish is a a form of it.
