- Valiant Nuada of the white sword,
- Who subdued the Firbolg of blood,
- For love of the Tribe, for pains of Danu's children,
- Hold thy shield over us, protect us all,
- Hold thy shield over us, protect us all.
- Danu beloved! Mother of the Shining Ones,
- Shield, oh shield us, Lady of nobleness,
- And Brigit the beauteous, shepherdess of the flocks.
- Safeguard thou our animals, encircle us together,
- Safeguard thou our animals, encircle us together.
- And Ellen, beneficent, benign,
- Governess of the trackways of power,
- Invoke the star of power upon the path,
- Guide well thou ourselves, shield our procession,
- Guide well thou ourselves, shield our procession.
- O Mother! O Maiden! O Crone of Wisdom!
- Be the Triad with us day and night,
- On the machair plain or on the mountain ridge,
- Be the Triad with us and her cloak around us,
- Be the Triad with us and her cloak around us.
