Connie Dover the blessing

Refrain
Good night to you and good night to you
Good night to you, goodbye to you
I pray that health will always be like yours
Good night to you, goodbye to you
Mother of the rain a spring of pure water'
The speech of our ancestors brigh na loinn;
'It is a mild relief from the tedium of my mind,
'When the verse of the valley brings to my mind'
Astar cuan no make us part
'And the earnestness of oxen in knotted bonds'
Keep what his blessing has left
Good night to you, goodbye to you
Our tree fell on the world
It's okay, we're good
We'll live in good hope
Good night to you, goodbye
Translation from Scots Gaelic to English Farewell to you and goodnight to you
Goodnight to you, and blessings go with you
Wishing that good health be yours always
Goodnight to you, and blessings go with you
The goodness of water drawn from the well of pure water
That is the language of our ancestors, the essence of our joy
A gentle soothing of the mind's distress
When a verse reminds me of the glens
The width of an ocean will not separate us
And our good wishes will go to those
Who are connected to us with enduring ties
Keep in good fortune those who've made their farewells
Goodnight to you and blessings go with you
Our lot has fallen in a deceiving world
But in spite of that, virtue will be with us
We will live in constant hope
Goodnight to you and blessings go with you
