~*`ST PATRICK'S DAY BLESSINGS`*~
~`*`~`Irish Blessings~`*`~`
May you always walk in sunshine.
May you never want for more.
May Irish angels rest their wings right beside your door.
May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
May you have warm words on a cold evening,
a full moon on a dark night,
and the road downhill all the way to your door.
May you live to be a hundred years,
With one extra year to repent.
`St. Patrick`
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.
~*`IRISH SONG LYRICS`*~
{English translation:}
Down by the beach, in the deep of night
The big world is sleeping and I am alone
The sea-birds are calling sorrowfully
Like poor souls in pain
Full moon and full tide
Bliss and calmness and beauty in the world
The murmur of the sea going into my ears
The soft song of the water flowing in the river.
Above on the headland* there is a blessed old cemetery
The place in which saints lived in times long ago
There are people within spending a while carefree
The will not walk round on the shore any more.
Loneliness strikes my spirits as I look at the cemetery
And I'm thinking about the people in there sleeping
Men and young women, old people and children
People of my people and friends of my heart.
The cocks are crowing and the stars are fading
The moon is setting and it's not long until day
Goodbye now blessed old cemetery
And to the people who walked with me down by the beach.
'HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY'
with
'IRISH BLESSINGS TO ALL!'
`May You Forever Be A Friend Of Mine,
Upon You May The Light Of God Shine,
May You Never Have To Walk Alone,
By Guiding Footsteps To His Throne!
