Sgrios naimbde nos gu lar I
O ana of might !
Brave heart in fight !
With swords and lances keen.
O'er foes prevail.
Let no white sail
Kound Innistorc be seen.
Thy strokes shall clash.
Like thunder crash,
Like lightning Qash thine eye*.
Thy heart a rock,
In battle shock,
Thy blade a flame on high.
Thy target raises
And let it blaze
Like death-star's baleful light,
O chief renowned.
Whose chargers bound.
Cut down our foes in fight J
