- Thou Nuada the victorious,
- I make my circuit under thy shield,
- Thou Nuada of the white steed,
- And of the bright brilliant blade,
- Conqueror of the dragon,
- Be thou at my back,
- Thou rider of the storms,
- Thou warrior of the Tuatha,
- O Nuada the victorious,
- My pride and my guide,
- O Nuada silver-handed,
- The glory of mine eye.
- I make my circuit
- In the fellowship of my hero,
- On the machair, on the meadow,
- On the cold heathery hill;
- Though I should travel ocean
- And the hard globe of the world
- No harm can ever befall me
- 'Neath the shelter of thy shield;
- O Nuada the victorious,
- Jewel of my heart,
- O Nuada Argetlamh,
- Danu's champion thou art.
- Be the sacred Triad of Magic
- Aye at peace with me,
- With my horses, with my cattle,
- With my woolly sheep in flocks.
- With the crops growing in the field
- Or ripening in the sheaf,
- On the machair, on the moor,
- In cole, in heap, or stack.
- Every thing on high or low,
- Every furnishing and flock,
- Belong to the holy Triad of magic,
- And to Nuada the victorious.
