“Brigit búadach,

búaid na fine,

siur Ríg nime,

nár in duine,

eslind luige,

        lethan bréo.

Ro-s íacht nóibnem,

mumme Góidel,

riar na n-óiged,

óibel ecnai,

ingen Dubthaig,

duine úallach,

Brigit búadach,

        bethad béo.”

“Triumphant Brigid,

glory of her kindred,

sister of Heaven’s King,

a noble woman,

a danger to perjurers,

a broad-spreading flame.

She has reached holy Heaven,

the foster-mother of the Gael,

the desire of visitors,

a spark of wisdom,

daughter of Dubthach,

a proud woman,

triumphant Brigid,

living one of life.”

~ Brigit Búadach/Victorious Brigid {Old Irish, translated by Kuno Meyer. Found in Miscellanea hibernica.}

Thought I would add a 2nd part as people found the the 1st part useful. :)
