May the road rise to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

the rain fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

  1. The actual blessing doesnt translate literally to that.

    Heres the actual bleesing,

    Go n-éirí an bóthar leat.

    Go raibh cóir na gaoithe i gcónaí leat.

    Go dtaitní an ghrian go bog bláth ar do chlár éadain,

    go dtite an bháisteach go bog mín ar do ghoirt.

    Agus go gcasfar le chéile sinn arís,

    go gcoinní Dia i mbois a láimhe thú.

    Which means,

    May the road succeed with you.

    May a favourable wind be always with you.

    May the sun shine flower softly on your forehead,

    May the rain fall fine softly on your fields

    And until we meet again

    May God keep you in the palm of his hand.

    However if you want a literal translation of what you've given here it is,

    Go n-éirí an bóthar leat

    Go raibh an ghaoth go brách ag do chúl

    Go dtaitní an ghrian ar d'aghaidh

    Agus go dtite an bháisteach go bog mín ar do ghoirt

    Agus go mbuailimid le chéile arís

    Go gcoinní Dia i mbos a láimhe thú
