Thanks for the corrections all! This version of the Blessing speaks so me....I'm not religious and thus choose not to incorporate the word "God". Would someone be able to just translate it the way it is? I mean no disrespect by asking this, and I understand that it might be a misrepresentation of what the Blessing was originally supposed to say, but I would very much appreciate it! Thank you for your help!

May the Road Rise to Meet You,
May the Wind Always be at Your Back,
May the Sun Shine Warm on Your Face,
May the Rain Fall Soft on Your Fields,
And May the Roads Always Lead You Home.

This reminds me of a scene in in the name of the fada when Des asks an old woman how to express "hope" in Irish.

"le cúnamh Dé" (with the help of God) says the woman

"But what if you didn't believe in God?" says Des

to which she quickly replied "then you can't really have any hope can you"

Anyway,

leaving it how it is and just changing the last line:

Go n-éirí an bóthar leat
Go raibh an ghaoth go brách ag do chúl
Go lonraí an ghrian go te ar d'aghaidh
Go dtite an bháisteach go mín ar do pháirceanna
Agus go mbualimid le chéile arís

Go dtreoraí na bóithre abhaile thú i gcónaí

or

Go dtreoraí na bóithre abhaile duit i gcónaí

And may the roads always lead you home

I have a question re thú-v-duit. Do they both make sense? This is the problem with direct translation, often the English influences your mind and your always afraid of anglicising it and I become slightly paranoid.

The way it is i.e. the direct translation I don't think it runs properly?

"Thú" sounds right to me there, but let others weigh in.

Ní fheicim cén chiall a bheadh le "duit" insan abairt sin.
