Dóchas linn Naomh Pádraig,
Aspal mór na hÉireann,
Ainm oirdhearc gléigeal,
Solas mór an tsaoil é.
D’fhill le soiscéal grá dúinn
Annneoin blianta ‘ngéibheann.
Grá mór Mhac na páirte
d’fhuascail cách ón daorbhroid.

Sléibhte, gleannta, maigthe
‘S bailte mór’ na hÉireann,
Ghlan sé iad go deo dúinn,
Míle glóir dár naomh dhil.
Iarr’mid ort, a Phádraig,
Guí orainn na Gaela,
Dia linn lá ‘gus oíche
‘S Pádraig Aspal Éireann.

English Translation:

Our hope is St. Patrick,
great apostle of Ireland.
A renowned and pure/bright name;
a great light to the world.
He returned to us with the gospel of love,
despite years of bondage.
The great love of God’s beloved son
that freed all from slavery.

Mountains, glens, plains,
and great cities of Ireland,
He purified them for us forever;
great glory to our dear saint.
We implore you, O Patrick,
to pray for us, the Gael.
God with us day and night,
and Patrick Ireland’s apostle.
