♣ Ádh na hÉireannach



♣ 

 For each petal on the shamrock 
This brings a wish your way - Good health, good luck, and happiness 
 For today and every day 

 ♣ 

May your blessings outnumber 
The shamrocks that grow, 
And may trouble avoid you 
 Wherever you go 

 ♣ 

When Irish eyes are smiling, 
'Tis like a morn in spring. 
With a lilt of Irish laughter 
You can hear the angels sing. 

 ♣ 

 O, the red rose may be fair, 
And the lily statelier; 
But my shamrock, one in three 
 Takes the very heart of me! 

 ♣ 

 May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light, 
May good luck pursue you each morning and night. 

 ♣
 May the Irish hills caress you. 
May her lakes and rivers bless you. 
 May the luck of the Irish enfold you. 
 May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you. 

 ♣ 

 May luck be our companion 
May friends stand by our side 
 May history remind us all 
 Of Ireland's faith and pride. 
May God bless us with happiness 
 May love and faith abide. 

 ♣ 

 Oh, the music in the air! 
 An' the joy that's ivrywhere - 
Shure, the whole blue vault of heaven is wan grand triumphal arch, 
An' the earth below is gay 
Wid its tender green th'-day, 
Fur the whole world is 
Irish on the Seventeenth o' March! 

 ♣ 

 Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Duit!
