Here's a slightly iffy translation that someone else can better Rug Muire mac do Dhia, Íosa Chriost, triath na reann, Maireann dá éis ina hógh, An bhean is dóigh do gach dall. Mary bore a son to God, Jesus Christ, lord of the heavens Two lives lived in her youth (?) The woman most hoped-for by every sinner. (?) Buime a's máthair Mhic Dé Bhuí, Bean mar í ní fhaca súil, Bean ler osclaíodh Flaitheas Dé, Do mholfas mé os gach dúil. Foster-mother and mother of the Yellow Son of God Eyes never saw a woman like her The woman who would open God's Heaven I praise her from every duty. Ní cosúil í le mná, Muire Mhór an bláth nach críon, Ní cosúil balsam le moirt, Le lionn goirt ní cosúil fion. Women are not like her, Great Mary, the flower who does not wither, Balsam is not like clay As beer is not like wine.
