May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head
be always strong.
And may you be in heaven
half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.
Here's to our wives and girlfriends:
May they never meet!
Health and life to you;
The mate of your choice to you;
Land without rent to you,
And death in Eirinn.
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in His hand.
May you live to be a hundred years,
With one extra year to repent!
May the roof above us never fall in.
And may the friends gathered below it never fall out.
