Irish Toasts and Blessings
« on: March 02, 2023, 09:29:50 pm »
May the best day of your past be the worst day of your future.

May the winds of fortune sail you, may you sail a gentle sea, may it always be the other guy who says this drink's on me.

 May good and faithful friends be yours, wherever you may roam.

May you live as long as you want but never want as long as you live.

May you never lie, steal, cheat or drink.
But if you must lie, lie in each other’s arms.
If you must steal, steal kisses.
If you must cheat, cheat death.
And if you must drink, drink with us, your friends.


That the roof above us never fall in, and may we friends gathered below never fall out.

Nice. Love me some barbershop.  :heart: I used to be a Sweet Adeline (lady's barbershop, in case you didn't know). When I practiced, it drove hubby crazy. Each part sounds weird by itself.  :silly:

Not if you sing lead (which I did). I am very familiar with Sweet Adelines as we had them on our Chorus Shows quite often.

Here’s to good Irish friends,
Never above you,
Never below you,
Always beside you.


May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings,
Slow to make enemies,
And fast to make friends!

I ran into these guys 30 yrs ago on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.I was immediately blown away.

If you enjoy what you just heard they have many songs out there on Youtube.

May the lilt of Irish laughter
lighten every load.
May the mist of Irish magic
shorten every road…
And may all your friends remember
all the favours you are owed!



Here’s to friends and family who know us well but love us just the same.

I wonder if you realized it does not take four voices to enjoy Barbershop Quartet Music?

Here’s to you and yours,
And to mine and ours,
And if mine and ours ever come
Across you and yours,
I hope you and yours will do
As much for mine and ours,
As mine and ours have done
For you and yours!

This one is a tongue twister!  LOL

This Irish toast always makes me laugh!

May those who love us, love us;
And for those who don't love us,
May God turn their hearts;
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May He turn their ankles,
So we will know them by their limping!

A toast to your coffin.
May it be made of 100 year old oak.
And may we plant the tree together, tomorrow.


 May the hinges of our friendship never grow rusty.
