Happy New Year 2017

BEANNACHADH BLIADHNA UIR

Dhe, beannaich dhomh an la ur

Nach do thuradh dhomh roimhe riamh;

Is ann gu beannachadh do ghnuis,

Thug thu 'n uine seo dhomh, a Dhia.

Beannaich thusa dhomh mo shuil,

Beannaicheadh mo shuil na chi;

Beannaichidh mise mo nabaidh,

Beannaicheadh mo nabaidh mi.

Dhe tabhair dhomh-sa cridhe glan,

Na leig a seall do shula mi;

Beannaich dhomh mo ghin's mo bhean,

'S beannaich domh mo nearc's mo ni.

Translation:

The Blessings of the New Year

God, bless to me the new day

Never vouchsafed to me before;

It is to bless Thine own presence

Thou hast given me this time, O God.

Bless Thou to me mine eye,

May mine eye bless all it sees;

I will bless my neighbour,

May my neighbour bless me.

God, give me a clean heart,

Let me not from sight of Thine eye;

Bless to me my children and my wife,

And bless to me my means and my cattle.

(Carmina Gaedlica, Alexander Carmichael)
