Scottish Gaelic:
Mille failte dhuit le d'bhreid,
(Meel-uh fal-tchuch ditch leh d'vre-dj)
Fad do re gun robh thu slan.
(Fad-do reh koon rov u slanh)
Mo ran la ithean dhuit is sith,
(Moh-ran lah-ich-un ditch is sih)
Le d'mhaitheas is le d'ni bhi fas.
(Le d'va-hes is leh d'ni vi fas).
It translates to:
A thousand welcomes to you with your wedding veil,
May you be healthy all your days.
May you be blessed with long life and peace,
May you grow old with goodness, and with riches.
An Old Wedding Blessing
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
From this day forward
May those who love us, love us.
And 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.
Be ye our angel unawares
If after Kirk ye bide a wee,
There's some would like to speak to ye,
If after Kirk ye rise and flee
We' all seem cauld and still to ye.
The one that's in the seat with ye
Is stranger here than ye, maybe.
All here have got their fears and cares,
Add ye your soul unto our prayers,
Be ye our angel unawares.
? Scottish Blessing
