Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
No, I'm not Irish but I respect the Irish. A great people they are, just ask them!
So have a Guinness, or a Jameson!
I will...
An Irish Blessing
Go n-éirí an bóthar leat
Go raibh an ghaoth go brách ag do chúl
Go lonraí an ghrian go te ar d'aghaidh
Go dtite an bháisteach go mín ar do pháirceanna
Agus go mbuailimid le chéile arís,
Go gcoinní Dia i mbos A láimhe thú.
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
A Toast
May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.
Oh, and did ya know that I love the music of the Irish? Well, ya do now.
Sláinte!
Irish music is good. So are red-haired, green-eyed Irish lassies. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'll pass on both the Guinness and Jameson's but I will raise a glass o' JW Green later on. That's close enough. (insert yet another smiley-face thingie here)
Copy that, Buck.
