Toasts

Recommended Posts

On Thursday night we are having a Russian Vodka night in the mess. Apparently the aim (apart from getting drunk) is to make a toast. It is allowed to be in any language apart from English (and American!). Does anyone have any good toasts?

Thanks
I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

in Spanish...

las novias pasadas son copas vacias
en ellas pusimos un poco de amor
bebimos su nectar, pasaron los dias
trae nuevas copas, con nuevo licor!


roughly translated...

Old girlfriends are empty cups
in them, we put a little love
we drank its nectar, days passed
lets brings new cups, with new liquor!

Slainte! (Pronounced(quickly slurring) 'sa'lawn chair') - means To your health!


and I had to google this cos I couldn't remember the spelling.

Slainte go saol agat,
Bean ar do mhian agat.
Leanbh gach blian agat,
is solas na bhflaitheas tareis antsail seo agat.


(roughly pronounced: Slancha ga sheil agat
Ban ir da vian agat
Toluv gan kis agat
Lanov gach blean agat
Iss solas na vlahas taraish antail sha agat.)

means:
"Health for life to you,
A wife of your choice to you,
Land without rent to you,
A child every year to you,
And the light of heaven after this world for you."

Go neirigh an bothar leat, agus go mbeidh an gaoth choiche sa droim agat is go mbeidh tu thuas ar neamh leath-uair roimh is eol don diabhal go bhuil tu marbh

means: may your way be successful and may you be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows you're dead. B|

(people translate the first part as 'may the road rise with you and the wind be forever at your back'. Google that for the pronunciation.


and more of a curse than a toast, but funny none the less....

Go n-ithe an cat thú is go n-ithe an diabhal an cat
May the cat eat you and may the cat be eaten by the devil. :D:D
