An Irish Blessing - Roma Downey feat. Phil Coulter

Roma and Phil at their best...

The artists singing in Gaelic at the start is Aoife Ni Fearraigh. I would appreciate anyone who could translate the hymn she is singing...

This is for all those who struggle through life (for one reason or another)... You are not alone.

Lyrics;

May the Blessing of Light be upon you, light on the outside, light on the inside.

With God's sunlight shining on you, may your heart glow with warmth, like a turf fire that welcomes friends and strangers alike.

May the Light of the Lord shine from your eyes, like a candle in the window, welcoming the weary traveller.

May the blessing of God's soft rain be on you, falling gently on your head. Refreshing your soul with the sweetness of little flowers newly blooming.

May the strength of the winds of heaven bless you, carrying the rain to wash your spirit clean. Sparkling after in the sunlight.

May the blessing of God's earth be on you. And as you walk the roads may you always have a kind word for those you meet.

May you understand the strength and power of God in a
thunderstorm and winter and the quiet beauty of creation and the calm of a summer sunset.

And may you come to realize that insignificant as you may seem in this great universe, you ARE an important part of God's plan.

May he watch over you and keep you safe from harm.

I was last in Éire back in June... Just in time to catch the semi's of All Ireland's Hurling between Kilkenny and pass (I know it was Kilkenny because my friend, who was over from NY at the time is a massive Cats fan). I would love to return, as/when I have the cash.

Too late, already added you ;-)

Ahh now I recognise it...

Peadar O'Riada and The Coolea Choir sang it at Phil's 'The Live Experience' concert in Limerick back in 1996.

Sláinte mhaith a chara!

Sorry to burst your bubbles, but that isn't Roma singing. It's a Gaelic artist by the name of Aoife Ni Fearraigh. Roma is reciting the words of the blessing. Still an absolutely beautiful recording. Phil Coulter is one of the best song writers, Irish or otherwise.

Roma can SING?! Wasn't aware of that! Amazing! 8^)

[Saphire5742]

Brings tears to the eyes. i've seen touched by an angel, and she was my favorite, but I never knew she could sing like one.

@Zeesmurf Definitely is heaven on Earth. I think Ireland is the most beautiful place on Earth. Ireland's landscape is too magical for words. :)

[TheGuitarjerry1126]

She has a BEAUTIFUL voice!!! It's so funny because Monica couldn't sing. :D It takes talent to sing off key, and this lady has so much talent!
