Gaelic: A blessing for the New Year

Dhé, beannaich an cé ‘s na bheil ann.
God bless the world and all that is therein.


Carmina Gadelica #45

Dhè, beannaich an taigh ...
bho stéidh gu staidh,
bho chrann gu fraigh,
bho ceann gu saidh,
bho dhronn gu traigh,
bho sgonn gu sgaith,
eadar bhonn agus bhraighe.

God, bless the house ...
from ground to gable,
from beam to wall,
from end to end,
from ridge to basement,
from floor to ceiling,
everything between foundation and roof.
