Diese Sprüche habe ich das erste mal auf einem Seminar gehört: Von Jon Wells
There are 4 things you must never do: lie, steal, cheat, or drink.
But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love.
If you must steal, steal the heart of a pretty girl.
If you must cheat, cheat death.
And if you must drink, drink whisky with me!
May the lilt of Irish laughter
lighten every load.
May the mist of Irish magic
shorten every road...
And may all your friends remember
all the favours you are owed
Here's to the lasses we've loved, my lad!
And here's to the lips that we've kissed!
For kisses and lasses,
Are like whisky in glasses,
The last one is always the best!
Here's to me, and here's to you,
may our love grow stronger -
I'll be faithful as long as you,
But not one moment longer.
May your neighbors respect you, trouble neglect you,
the angels protect you, and heaven accept you.
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.
