Lucky In Gaelic

Check 'luck' translations into Scottish Gaelic. Look through examples of luck translation in sentences, listen to pronunciation and learn grammar. If you’re a hard working person on a journey to learn Irish or any other language and you’re looking for some “Good Luck”, you’ve come to the right place. The pun was intended, of course, since today we’re going to show you how to say “Good Luck” in the Irish language. And Irish blessings in your heart! May God grant you always a sunbeam to warm you, a moonbeam to charm you, a sheltering Angel so nothing can harm you. Laughter to cheer you, faithful friends near you And whenever you pray, Heaven to hear you. O Thou, to whom to love and be are one, Hear my faith cry for them.

There are Gaelic and old Irish blessings for every occasion whether a funeral, wedding or birthday. I have put together a list of general, traditional and short blessings just for every day use.

While many of these old blessings petition or request the help or intervention of God in some way, it does not always mean that the person saying them regards him or herself as being very religious. These blessings, whether in Gaelic or English, were the way Irish people had of expressing hope, desire for a better future and solidarity with their family, friends and neighbours.

A word of warning, I include an approximate pronunciation of some Gaelic blessings. Just remember that 'ch' in Gaelic is like the 'ch' in 'loch', not as in chalk. If you can't manage that, pronounce as a 'k' to be understood.
