Une bénédiction irlandaise
Pour une traduction des paroles en français VOIR : Ce LIEN

Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad.
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad.

May you live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live.

Always remember to forget
The troubles that passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.


May your neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.

May God be with you and bless you,
May you see your children's children,
May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness (1)
From this day forward.

May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.

May you see God's light on the path ahead
When the road you walk is dark.
May you always hear,
In your hour of sorrow,
The singing of the lark.

When times are hard may hardness
Never turn your heart to stone,
May you always remember when the shadows fall-
You do not walk alone.

May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may room.

May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!

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

___________
1.  Happiness is deeper than the joy or sadness of the moment. It is clear from the rest of the text that there will still be trials and even tears. But when a storm rages for those who sail on the surface, the depth of an ocean is calm. Happiness is an attitude, a decision, while feelings and emotions come and go like waves on the sea. That is why we must be masters of it and not slaves (of our emotions). By Gilles B.
