O Derdriu, you will destroy much
If you are comely-faced and fair of fame.
The Ulstermen will suffer during your lifetime,
O demure daughter of Feidlimid.
You will perform a horrible, fierce deed
For anger against the king of the noble Ulstermen.
Your little grave will be everywhere.
It will be a famous tale, O Derdriu.
Even afterwards jealousy will be
Ablaze on your account, O woman.
In your time it is, hear this,
The exile of the three sons of Uisliu.
You will perform a horrible, fierce deed
For anger against the king of the noble Ulstermen.
Your little grave will be everywhere.
It will be a famous tale, O Derdriu.
