l. Puissent nos roules se croiser pour te rencontrer. Que Ie vent te soit toujoursfavorable. Quele soleil te rdchauffe le visage. Quc la pluie arrose tes champs sans dommages et que, jusqu'dce que nous nous rencontrions dnouveau, Dieu te garde daw lapautne de samain.

2. Que le soleil dclaire vos journ6es, que les ltoiles illuminent vos nuits ; que les fleurss'dpanouissent le long de votre chcmin, que votre moison r€siste d la temp€te et quc, jusqu'dce que nous nous rencontions...
