Dhe, eisd ri m’ urnuigh, Lub rium do chluas, Leig m’ achan agus m’ urnuigh. T' ionnsuidh a suas. Thig, a Righ na glorach Da m’ chomhnadh a nuas, A Righ na bith ’s na trocair, Le comhnadh an Uain, A Mhic na Muire Oighe Da m’ chomhnadh le buadh, A Mhic na Muire mine Is finne-ghile snuadh. |
God, listen to my prayer, Bend to me Thine ear, Let my supplications and my prayers Ascend to Thee upwards, Come, Thou King of Glory, To protect me down, Thou King of life and mercy With the aid of the Lamb. Thou Son of Mary Virgin To protect me with power, Thou Son of the lovely Mary Of purest fairest beauty. |
