Is úar gáeth...

Is úar gáeth
i ndorus tige na lláech;
batar inmaine laích
bítis etrainn ocus gaíth.

(is * cold * wind / in * door * of house * of the * warriors / were * dear * warriors / (that) were * between us * and * wind)

The wind is cold
in the doorway of the warriors’ house;
beloved were the warriors
who stood between us and the wind.
