A Bhríghid ní Dubhthaigh dinn,
Inghean Aodha ó Theamhair a triom,
Dobheireann an long ó phort go port,

O's leat féin an oidhche anocht.



A Bhríghid ní Dubhthaig dhuinn
Do-bheir luing ó phort go port,
Cuiream sinn fád chomairche,
O's leat féin an oidhche anocht.
A Bhríghid ní Dubhthaig dhuinn,
Inghean aobhdha abhrad-chruinn



Dubhthach was the name of St. Brigid's father.
"Abhrad-chruinn" (having shapely eyebrows) is purely
conjectural. Oidhche seems to rhyme with the 2nd and
3rd syllables of comairche. - ED.
