Irish Blessings [Part 2]


Fad saol agat, gob fliuch, agus bás in Eirinn. 
Long life to you, a wet mouth, and death in Ireland.

For each petal on the shamrock. 
This brings a wish your way 
Good health, good luck, and happiness 
For today and every day.

For the test of the heart is trouble
And it always comes with years.
And the smile that is worth the praises of earth
Is the smile that shines through the tears.

Four blessings upon you... 
Older whiskey 
Younger women 
Faster horses 
More money

Get on your knees
and thank the Lord
you're on your feet.

Go maire sibh bhur saol nua.
May you enjoy your new life.

Go mbeannaí Dia is Muire duit
May God and Mary bless you.

Go mbeannaí Dia duit
May God bless you.

Go mbeire muid beo ar an am seo aris! 
May we be alive at this time next year.

Go n-eiri an t-adh leat. 
Good luck.

Go n'éirí leat 
May your luck be rising 

God between us and all harm

God bless the corners of this house 
and all the lintel blessed,
And bless the hearth 
and bless the board 
and bless each place of rest,
And bless each door that 
opens wide to strangers as to kin,
And bless each crystal window pane 
that lets the starlight in,
And bless the rooftree overhead 
and every sturdy wall.

The peace of man. 
The peace of God. 
With peace and love for all.

God speed the Plow and bless the Cornmow.

Gra Go Deo 
Love Forever

Grant me a sense of humor, Lord,
The saving grace to see a joke,
To win some happiness from life,
And pass it on to other folk.

Gura slán an scéalai
May the bearer of the news be safe.

Happiness being a dessert so sweet 
May life give you more than you can ever eat.

Health and a long life to you.
Land without rent to you.
A child every year to you.
And if you can?t go to heaven,
May you at least die in Ireland.

Health and life to you;
The mate of your choice to you;
Land without rent to you,
And death in Eirinn.

Health for life to you,
A wife of your choice to you,
Land without rent to you,
A child every year to you,
And the light of heaven after this world for you.

Holy Mother take the harm of the years away from you.

I-rish you a very nice place to live, 
I-rish God's greatest gifts he'll give. 
I-rish you health, and wealth, and more 
I-rish your smilin' face were at my door!
