Irish Blessing

Ath Éredonide

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Bíi wil dazh weth nada wa.
Wil meden yul nath.
Wil ham rosh owanal ona nathaha,
I wil ham lali lemanal dun nathoha.
I menebithim lezhehéya hathobéeya,
Wil widom Lahila nath niloma Bathaha wa.
