Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Duisgeadh agoinn dámh donn a doire donn níamhdha nua... We awoke a great brown stag from the new grass...
   
Three brave heroes woke with the sun
On a misty morning three were as one
The ancient forest rang with the sound
Of a crystal-tongued blackbird and the cry of a hound		  
   
Raise up your hunting spear
Raise up your hunting spear
Raise up your hunting spear
Raise up your hunting spear		  
   
We are Oisín, Caoilte and Fionn
Three great hunters and we follow the sun
To the mountains of Mish, through the heather and briar
To the green slope of Cua with our hearts full of fire		  
   
Raise up your hunting spear
Raise up your hunting spear
Raise up your hunting spear
Raise up your hunting spear		  
   
Danú, danú, danú dé Danú, danú, danú, Goddess
Danú, danú, danú dé Danú, danú, danú, Goddess
Danú, danú, danú dé Danú, danú, danú, Goddess
Danú, danú, danú dé Danú, danú, danú, Goddess
   
Three brave heroes woke with the sun
On a misty morning three were as one
The ancient forest rang with the sound
Of a crystal-tongued blackbird and the cry of a hound		  
   
Raise up your hunting spear...  
   
Danú, danú, danú dé... Danú, danú, danú, Goddess...
