RANN a rinn ban-naomh Bride
Dh’ an mharaiche chrubach,
Air ghlun, air lug, air chuagas,
Air na naodh galara gith, air na tri galara cuara,
Na ob e do bhruid, na diult e do mhne.

Chaidh Criosd air each,
Bhrist each a chas,
Chaidh Criosd a bhan,
Rinn e slan a chas.

Mar a shlanuich Criosd sin,
Gun slanuich Criosd seo,
Agus na ’s mo na seo,
Ma ’s e thoil a dheanamh.

An t-eolas a rinn Calum-cille,
Air eorlain a ghlinne,
Do sgocha feithe, do leum cnamha--
Tha thu tinn an diugh, bithidh thu slan am maireach.

 

THE rune made by the holy maiden Bride
To the lame mariner,
For knee, for crookedness, for crippleness,
For the nine painful diseases, for the three venomous diseases,
Refuse it not to beast, deny it not to dame.

Christ went on a horse,
A horse broke his leg,
Christ went down,
He made whole the leg.

As Christ made whole that,
May Christ make whole this,
And more than this,
If it be His will so to do.

The charm made by Columba,
On the bottom of the glen,
For bursting of vein, for dislocation of bone--
Thou art ill to-day, thou shalt be well to-morrow.
