Dóchas linn Naomh Pádraig

Dóchas linn Naomh Pádraig
Aspal mór na hÉireann,
Ainm oirearc gléigeal,
solas mór an tsaoil é.
D'fhill le soiscéal grá dúinn
d'ainneoin blianta i ngéibheann.
Grá mór Mhac na páirte,
d'fhuascail cách ón daorbhruid.

Sléibhte, gleannta máighe,
's bailte mór na hÉireann,
Ghlan sé iad go deo dúinn,
míle glóir dár naomh dhil.
Iarrmaid ort, a Phádraig,
guí orainne Gaela,
Dia linn lá 'gus oíche
's Pádraig Aspal Éireann.

Our hope, O St. Patrick,
Great Apostle of Ireland.
A bright and splendid name,
The great light of the world is he.
It was he who defeated the druids
Their hard hearts of wickedness,
Brought down the proud,
Through the strength of God, our powerful Lord.

The hills, the glens and plains
And the towns of Ireland
He cleansed them for ever for us,
A thousand glories to our beloved Saint
We ask of you, O Patrick,
To pray for us, the Irish,
May God be with us day and night,
And Patrick Great Apostle of Ireland.
