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		  
   
Salve rex gloriae...  
   
We are Oisín, Caoilte and Fionn
Three great hunters and we follow the sun
To the mountain of Mish through the heather and briar
To the green slope of Cua with our hearts full of fire		  
   
Salve rex gloriae...  
   
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
   
Salve rex gloriae...  
   
Danú, danú, danú dé... Danú, danú, danú, Goddess...
