OBI RI SHÙIL - Charm for the Eye

Cuirim an obi seo ri m' shùil,
Mar a dh'orduich Rìgh nan dùl,
A uchd Pheadail, a uchd Phoil,
An treas ob is fheàrr fo'n ghrèin. I place this charm to my eye,
As the King of life ordained,
From the bosom of Peter and Paul,
The third best amulet under the sun.
Sil a Mhoire, sil a Bhride,
Sil a Phadra, rìgh nan reachd,
Sil a Chalum-chille chaoimh,
Sil a Chiarain naoimh nan feart. Pour (your power into it) Mary, Pour (your power into it) Bridget,
Pour (your power into it) Patrick, king of laws,
Pour (your power into it) Columba the kindly,
Pour (your power into it) Ciaran, saint of power.
Air bhuaidh làrach, air chruaidh lamha,
An cath tearmaid, an cath farmaid,
Air gach mac da math d' an teid,
Bidh Mac De leis an treuin armachd. For success in the field (of battle), for a weapon at hand,
In battle (for) defense, in battle (against) malice,
On every son who to good shall go well,
The Son of God will be with him in full armour.
A uchd Athar,
A uchd Mic,
A uchd Spioraid Naoimh.
From the bosom of the Father,
From the bosom of the Son,
From the bosom of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.
