This is taken from the well-known blessing -

Go n-éirí an bóthar leat
Go raibh cóir na gaoithe i gcónaí leat
Go dtaitní an ghrian go bog bláth ar d'éadan
Go dtite an bhaisteach go bog mín ar do ghoirt
Agus go gcasfar le chéile sinn arís
Go gcoinní Dia i mbos A láimhe thú.

In the second line why is it - cóir na gaoithe ? - I'm assuming that this is the genitive and not the plural, but why isn't it - cóir ghaoithe ?

In the third line, I'm surprised by the way the word - bláth - is used here. I thought it meant a flower.

This is how I translate it (as literally as possible) into French -

Que réussisse la route avec toi
Que soit favorable le vent toujours avec toi
Que brille le soleil doucement, gentiment sur ton visage
Que tombe la pluie doucement partout sur tes champs
Et jusqu'à rencontrerons ensemble nous de nouveau
Que garde Dieu dans (la) paume (de) Sa main toi

En fait "cóir" est un nom, pas un adjectif, d'où le génitif.
"Cóir na gaoithe" c'est "la faveur du vent" (le fait que le vent soit favorable).

D'accord - merci

Par mégarde, I've put this in the wrong forum, gabh mo leithscéal.

I've moved this into the Irish forum for you.

on le traduit traditionellement d'autre façon en anglais, mais maintenant que je l'ai vu de ta façon il est évident que ta vérsion est plus correcte...


I am also very curious to hear an explanation of this. I have encountered it to mean "flourish" (obviously from a similar origin to flower in English as well) but I am not quite sure what it is meaning here.

I've checked it again and in Teanglann , it's the second meaning of bláth, which is a variant of bláith. - Bláith (literary) smooth, delicate, beautiful. For example - bláithchith - means a light, fresh shower and bláithchaoin means tenderly beautiful. It was the subject of a fierce discussion on Daltaí between Aonghus and our own man Breandán, with additional remarks from Abigail. They thought that it all seemed to be fairly artificial, so Abigail made some adjustments to it. Aonghus said that in this context - bláth/bláith (coming after bog) means mildly. As Redwolf always says - no roads have risen - ie: when you add a preposition to a verb, very often that changes its meaning in some way.

And what did Seán and Máire and Sinéad think about it? hahaha

Thank you for these insights, franc
