At the source of river Lee,
Amergin obtained his land.
In the kingdom of Ireland,
T'was a beauty, a young woman.
From their union a child is born,
They gave him name of Luan.
When he was seven years old,
Three pilgrims stopped at the door,
The grace of the Holy Spirit,
Th' said seem to shine on his face.
Fair is the hair, Finn is the barre of Luan,
O let be this name, his name!
When he went to the great marsh of Cork,
Thousand of people travelled also,
And came to Cork to celebrate, sing and dance
Luan, the Loving man,
The feast of Saint Finn Barre,
O Saint Finn Barre of Cork.
