Brigit búadach,
Búaid na fine,
Siur Ríg nime,
Nár in duine,
Eslind luige,
Lethan breo.
Ro-siacht noíbnem,
Mumme Goídel,
Riar na n-oíged,
Oíbel ecnai,
Ingen Dubthaig,
Duine úallach,
Brigit búadach,
Bethad beo.


Victorious Brigit,
Glory of kindred,
Heaven-king's sister,
Noble person,
Perilous oath,
Far-flung flame.
She has reached holy Heaven,
Gaeldom's foster-mother,
Support of strangers,
Spark of wisdom,
Daughter of Dubhthach,
High-minded lady,
Victorious Brigit,
The living one of life.

You still taking your Irish/Gaelic/whatever class? Or was this something else? It's nice in an abrupt way.

Actually, this is Old Irish, which I can't read. I got it out of a book. It's a prayer to Brigit, who was converted into St. Bridget upon Christianization of Ireland. :)
