Guidhe Cáirdiúil Gaelach - An Irish Friendship Wish

Rest your mouse on the shamrock
below to reveal the phonetics. *

Go raibh obair riamh le do láimhe a dhéanamh;
Go raibh bonn nó dhó riamh in do sparán;
Go raibh an ghrían riamh ar d'fhuinneóg;
Go leanadh cinnte bogha-báistí gach fearthainn;
Go raibh lámh caradh riamh in aice leat;
Go líonadh Dia do chroí le háthas chun misniú dhuit.

May there always be work for your hands to do;
May your purse always hold a coin or two;
May the sun always shine on your windowpane;
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
May the hand of a friend always be near you;
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
