Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Dirgidh bhar sleagha sealga Raise up your hunting spear
Lé a ngonmaois fearba fíre With which we injured the white deer
Dirgidh bhar sleagha sealga Raise up your hunting spear
Mar do bhámar re gaiseadh When we were at war
Ní dhénmaois aistear aoíne We did not fast on our journey
Dirgidh bhar sleagha sealga Raise up your hunting spear
   
Seólaidh bhar mbolcca corra Sail the round hulls of your ships
Go borraibh loma lochlainn... To the barren lands of Lochlainn...
   
Lé bhar gcraoísreachoibh go ndaígne With our great lances
Ro gonsam Ráighni roscmall We killed slow Raighne
Dirgidh bhar sleagha sealga Raise up your hunting spear
Mar do bhámar re gaiseadh When we were at war
Ní dhénmaois aistear aoíne We did not fast on our journey
Dirgidh bhar sleagha sealga Raise up your hunting spear
   
Seólaidh bhar mbolcca corra Sail the round hulls of your ships
Go borraibh loma lochlainn... To the barren lands of Lochlainn...
   
Dirgidh bhar sleagha sealga Raise up your hunting spear
Lé a ngonmaois fearba fíre With which we injured the white deer
Dirgidh bhar sleagha sealga Raise up your hunting spear
Mar do bhámar re gaiseadh When we were at war
Ní dhénmaois aistear aoíne We did not fast on our journey
Dirgidh bhar sleagha sealga Raise up your hunting spear
   
Seólaidh bhar mbolcca corra Sail the round hulls of your ships
Go borraibh loma lochlainn... To the barren lands of Lochlainn...
