Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Gabhaim molta Bríghde I am praising Bridget
Ionmhain í le hÉirinn Who is daughter of Ireland
Ionmhain le gach tír í She is a daughter of all countries
Molaimís go léir í We all praise her
   
Lóchrann geal na Laighneach The bright light of Leinster
Soilsiú feadh na tíre Bringing light to the country
Ceann ar óghaibh Éireann The leader of the youth of Ireland
Ceann na mban ar míne Our leader of gentlewomen
   
Tig an geimhreadh dian dubh Here comes the dark, hard winter
Gearradh lena ghéire Cutting with its sharpness
Ach ar lá 'le Bríghde But on St. Bridget's Day
Gar dúinn Earrach Éireann Ireland's spring is close by
   
Gabhaim molta Bríghde I am praising Bridget
Ionmhain í le hÉirinn Who is daughter of Ireland
Ionmhain le gach tír í She is a daughter of all countries
Molaimís go léir í We all praise her
