'Ello, in the song Blarney Roses, does anybody have a translation for the phrase 'Acushla gra-machree'?

Something along the lines of "my dear one" or "my darling".

So far i've had one reply from GUEST, ulick mcgee who states 'Something along the lines of "my dear one" or "my darling".

Any other ideas??

The literal translation is "oh pulse, love of my heart" but the sense is as Ulick says.
