Lyrics:

Praise we all Saint Brigid,
Praiseworthy in our lands.
Praiseworthy in all countries
Let us sing her praises.

She is in the torch fire,
Shining through the country.
Best of all within our youth,
Smooth and gentle woman.

Winter's house is darkness,
Winds of cutting sharpness,
But, upon Saint Brigid's Day
Spring is near returning.
