This past Sunday I attended mass at the annual Cleveland Irish Cultural Festival. Fr. Tom Malone offered the mass and said a couple of prayers in Irish. I searched the internet and found the texts of these prayers (can't totally vouch for their accuracy!). Althought I can speak some Irish, I couldn't understand the spoken prayers over the lousy PA system. The 3 "Irish Sopranos" sang at this mass (some in Gaelic). And a great surpise, my cousin Tim Fitzpatrick and his wife Queenie were sitting right in front of me during the mass.
Kyrie ("Lord Have Mercy"):
A Thiarna, déan trócaire
A Críost, déan trócaire
A Thiarna, déan trócaire
Agnus Dei ("Lamb of God"):
A Uan Dé, a thógas peacaí an domhain, déan trócaire 'rainn*
A Uan Dé, a thógas peacaí an domhain, déan trócaire 'rainn*
A Uan Dé, a thógas peacaí an domhain, tabhair duinn siocháin
Sanctus et Benedictus ("Holy, Holy, Holy"):
Is naofa, naofa, naofa thú, a Thiarna, Dia na Slua. Tá neamh agus talamh lán de do ghlóir. Hósanna sna harda. Is beannaithe 'n té 'tá ag teacht in ainm an Tiarna. Hósanna sna harda.
* this is "orainn," but it gets elided into the final vowel sound of "trócaire."
