(Edited: original is here {with translation})...
This particular post, has been viewed more often than any other last year, not sure why.
From: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ; Right across the world to: Tokyo, Japan.
(stopping along the way, in Kingston, Jamaica; Tel Aviv, Israel & Delhi, India of all places!)
Even more bewilderlingly, is that fact it is the 1st post viewed by anyone this year also.
My wish for 2010 for all is blessings & prayers in what you need...
Also, of course, "Lang may yer lum reek"
-----
"May the best ye hae ivver seen be the warst ye'll ivver see.
May the moose ne'er lea' yer girnal wi a tear-drap in its ee.
May ye aye keep hail an hertie till ye'r auld eneuch tae dee.
May ye aye juist be sae happie as A wuss ye aye tae be.
Here's to all those that I love
Here's to all those that love me.
And here's to all those that love those that I love,
And all those that love those that love me.
I drink to the health of another,
And the other I drink to is he -
In the hope that he drinks to another,
And the other he drinks to is me!
Here's to them that like us -
Them that think us swell -
And here's tae them that hate us -
Let's pray for them as well!
Here's to the heath, the hill and the heather,
The bonnet, the plaid, the kilt and the feather!
Here's to the heroes that Scotland can boast,
May their names never dee -
That's the Heilan' Man's Toast!
Here's tae us -
Wha's like us -
Damn few -
And they're a' deid -
Mairs the pity!
May the hill rise behind you,
And may the mountain be always over the crest;
And may the God that you believe in
Hold you in the palm of his hand.
Lang may yer lum reek!
Wi' ither folks coal!
May we be happy - and our enemies know it!
A guid New Year and mony may ye see.
May ye ne'er want a frien' or a dram to gie him.
When we're gaun up the hill of fortune, may we ne'er meet a frien' comin' doun!"
