I wish you health,
I wish you well,
and happiness galore.
I wish you luck for you and friends;
what could I wish you more?
If God sends you down a stony path,
May He give you strong shoes.
If I had a flower for every time I thought of you,
I could walk through my garden forever.
If you're enough lucky to be Irish...
You?re lucky enough!
In the New Year,
may your right hand always be stretched out
in friendship and never in want.
It's easy to be pleasant when life flows by like a song.
But the man worth while is the one who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong.
Like the goodness of the five loaves and two fishes,
Which God divided among the five thousand men,
May the blessing of the King who so divided
Be upon our share of this common meal.
Let the Moon and the Stars pour their healing light on you
Like the warmth of the sun
And the light of the day,
May the luck of the Irish
shine bright on your way.
Luck of milk and of plentiful ale,
successful advice in every matter,
success in procreation, fame with prosperity,
success in raiding hence, and victory in war.
Lucky stars above you,
Sunshine on your way,
Many friends to love you,
Joy in work and play-
Laughter to outweigh each care,
In your heart a song-
And gladness waiting everywhere
All your whole life long!
Man's blessing and God's blessing,
may they all be on you together,
on your children, on your offspring unscathed,
may no calamity befall them.
May all your joys be pure joys,
and all your pain champagne.
May blessings await you always!
May brooks and trees and singing hills
Join in the chorus, too.
And every gentle wind that blows
Send happiness to you.
May dawn find you awake and alert,
approaching your new day
with dreams, possibilities, and promises.
May evening find you gracious and fulfilled.
May you go into the night blessed, sheltered, and protected.
May your soul calm, console, and renew you.
May each day have its own wonder and rebirth,
Its molding of new life from unwilling clay,
Its springing in surprise from reluctant earth,
Its hint of victory on final Judgment Day,
And may the God of daily resurrections bless you,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
May embers from the hearth warm your hands,
May sunshine from an Irish sky warm your face,
May a child’s bright smile warm your heart,
And may everlasting love warm your soul.
May every rough spot before us be smooth.
May every difficulty before us be easy.
May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day.
May songbirds serenade you every step along the way.
May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that's always blue.
And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through.
May friendship, like wine,
improve as time advances.
And may we always have
old wine, old friends, and young cares
May God be with you and bless you.
May God be with you and bless you
May the best of this year be the worst of the next
May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward
May God be with you and bless you,
May you see your children's children,
May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.
May God bless and keep in good health
your enemies, enemies.
