Second verse lyrics:

MAY THE DARK THINGS NEVER TAKE YOU.

MAY THE SALT BE NEVER IN YOUR EYE.

MAY ALL CHILLS DIE QUICK UPON YOUR BREATH.

THE FENS YIELD UP YOUR WEEPING BABES.

AND MAY BOTH OUR LIVES BE GRAND

SINCE WE KNOW WE'LL NOT MEET MORE,

NOT MEET MORE . . .

[bushbaby001]

[kalthaushummel]

can someone help me to understand the second verse? just can't get the words properly... this is what i understood:

May the dark things never take you

May the salt be never in your eye

May your chills die quick upon your breath

The thrills heal up your weeping days

And let both our lives be grand

Since we know we’ll not need more

Not need more…

[joaniecateyes]

I am Irish and I love the music. I can't understand all the words. Can anyone tell me what the words are after may the sun be never in your eyes, may etc------- to May your blessings be many.

Irish Live is Hard Time...I Loved...

God Bless Eire..

[Celticson50]

I grew up very poor in Chicago...rats in the walls, father passed out drunk on the front lawn, no money 'cause he spent it for booze. So poor, so unloved, yet I grew to love and forgive him, and to love God. Irish are an enduring people, they shall overcome. God loves the Irish.

[willorwillie]

This is the Irish Sprit at it's best !!!!

[willorwillie]

The Irish Spirit At It's Best....Thank You Ireland....

[balingarry]

Well Master Daniel, your music stands proudly on its own feet among the other versions for these lyrics. This is wonderful... thank you for posting this.

Where could I find the music sheet for viewing? I'd like to see it despite the sad fact that my choir is not up to this wonderful song, so for the time being I can only dream of singing this...

[songbird72884]

This is so beautiful! I'm trying to find songs to practice my singing, may I use this one? I post sound/ video files on my blog but I'd definitely credit you in the info. It's not for profit or anything, just practice :)

[Celticson50]

You can't use it unless your Irish.

[danielcurzon]

I don't understand your comment. But I am glad to be on your Favorites.

[danielcurzon]

Thanks, Hedy Chan, But I am, alas, am not the

singer here, just the composer.

[hedyychan]

This is very touching and beautiful. Daniel's voice is powerful and with such a deep feeling that touch my heart deeply. Excellent voice and video.

[danielcurzon]

We're singing this? Do you have my permission

and will give a credit?

[danielcurzon]

A special thanks to Daniel for letting us

use his version of Irish Blessing in the

Words and Deeds benefit. It was a nice touch

to a great evening. Thanks, Daniel. The Best, Kayla and Brenda in Winnipeg, Canada
