May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rains fall soft upon your fields.
May the roof above us never fall in.
And may the friends gathered below it never fall out.
May the saddest day of your future be no worse
Than the happiest day of your past.
May the saint protect ye-
An' sorrow neglect ye,
An' bad luck to the one
That doesn't respect ye
t' all that belong to ye,
An long life t' yer honor-
That's the end of my song t' ye
May the ships at sea never be bottoms up.
May the sound of happy music
And the lilt of Irish laughter
Fill your heart with gladness
That stays forever after.
May the strength of God pilot us,
may the wisdom of God instruct us,
may the hand of God protect us,
may the word of God direct us.
Be always ours this day and for evermore.
May the strength of three be in your journey.
May the sun shine, all day long,
everything go right, and nothing wrong.
May those you love bring love back to you,
and may all the wishes you wish come true!
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the winds of fortune sail you,
May you sail a gentle sea.
May it always be the other guy
who says, "this drink's on me."
May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun.
And find your shoulder to light on.
To bring you luck, happiness and riches.
Today, tomorrow and beyond.
May there be a fox on your fishing hook
And a hare on your bait
And may you kill no fish
Until St. Brigid's Day.
May there be a generation of children
On the children of your children.
May those who love us love us.
And those that don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we?ll know them by their limping.
May three deaths be taken from me!
May three ages be given to me!
May seven waves of fortune be granted to me!
May we get what we want,
May we get what we need,
But may we never get what we deserve.
May we live in peace without weeping.
May our joy outline
the lives we touch without ceasing.
And may our love fill the world,
angel wings tenderly beating.
May you...
Work like you don't need the money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
Dance like no-one is watching,
Screw like it's being filmed,
And drink like a true Irishman.
May you always
have a clean shirt,
a clear conscience,
and enough coins
in your pocket to buy a pint.
May you always have a friend
that is worth that name.
May you always have walls for the winds
A roof for the rain, tea beside the fire
Laughter to cheer you, those you love near you
And all your heart might desire
May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
May you always walk in sunshine.
May you never want for more.
May Irish angels rest their wings
right beside your door.
