Réalta [an] chruinne Caitir Fhíona
fhóireas Gréagaigh,
fóiridh forgla clann gach chóigidh
ann ar éagaibh.
Caitir Fhíona inghean [chasda]
craobh na buaidhe,
gnúis mar blath na habhla úire
abhra [uaine].*
Abhra uaine ag inghin Gréigríogh
nar ghabh guidhe
[a-táid] i ndath a gruadh gile
's snuadh na suibhe.
Snuadh na suibhe [is] samhradh gréine*
'n-a gruaidh chorcha,
iomdha glún as a fréimh feactha
'n-a céibh choptha.
Ar deilbh corrshúl Caitreach-fíona
nír cínn Gréigbean,
súil chorr nachar fhéagh ar óigfhear
béal donn déidgheal.
Gnúis mar abhaill, ucht mar eala
ógh nar truailleadh,
nír ghile clúimh ná a bas bháingheal
súil ghlas ghruaidhgheal.
Ní fhaghaim ógh ar a gruaidhse
gan a guidhe
go síntear brat ar mo bhuile
ó Mhac Muire.*
Brighid Éireann agus Alban
ógh na n-oiléan
is í an blath braoingheal na mbanóg
caoilthreabh [coiréal].
Athrachta fhóireas na Luighnigh

Catherine, honored daughter,
branch of virtue,
a face like fresh appleblossom,
green brow. *
A green brow on the Greek king's daughter *
not captured by a suitor --
in the shade of her cheeks is brightness
and a berry's color.
Berry's color and sun's garland*
in crimson cheeks --
many a knee bending from the source
in tufted locks.
In the shape of her curved eyes,
Catherine is not surpassed by Greek women.
Curved eyes do not look at a young man --
bright-toothed dark mouth.
Face like an apple, breast like a swan,
a virgin not violated.
Down is not brighter than her shining white hand--
green eyes, bright cheeks.
The virgin with her cheeks will not be found
without my suit;
stretch your cloak over my madness,
son of Mary.*
Brigid of Ireland and Scotland,
the virgin of the islands --
she is the misty-bright flower of the young women,
coral-collared.
Athrachta, helper of Limerick --
speedy enough
is the white-soled young woman of the Boyle,*
wax candle.
Gentle white Ciaran, Columcille--
gentle the company--
Patrick, Martin, Mongan, Manann,
Coman, Coireall.
The Trinity, great Mary and Michael --
sunny band--
eleven thousand noble virgins of the Boyle,
flower of pure virgins.
