1 Brigit ever excellent woman, golden sparkling flame,
lead us to the eternal Kingdom, the dazzling resplendent sun
May Brigit deliver us past throngs of devils:
may she break before us the battles of every plague!
2 May she destroy within us the taxes of our flesh,
the branch with blossoms, the mother of Jesus.
The true virgin, dear, with vast dignity,
I shall be safe always with my saint of Leinster.
3 One of the columns of the Kingdom with Patrick the pre-eminent,
the vesture above… the royal queen.
May our bodies after old age be in sackcloth!
From her grace may Brigit rain on us, save us!
