Translation (from the Ăn Yidiș):
I myself and white Pangur,
Each of us in his own role,
His mind [turned] towards hunting,
Mine towards my specialty.

I prefer my rest to any kind of fame:
In my book, occupied in study.
Pangur Bán doesn't harbor envy towards me;
He loves his own childish acts.

* Thubhairt Daibhidh ra sheirbhisich, A bheil an leanabh marbh? Agus thubhairt iadsan, Tha e marbh.

* agus chaidh e a-steach do thaigh an Tighearna, agus rinn e adhradh:

Torah! Torah! the light of all the worlds! 

So many seas, rivers, springs and founts flow out from you in all directions!

From you come all things, on you stand the highest and lowest realms.

From you goes out His highest light.

Torah! Torah! What can I say to describe you? You are like a lovely doe and a graceful she-ibex,

Your mercy is in the upper and lower realms, available for anyone who succeeds in obtaining instruction from you in the proper way.

Torah! Torah!

Such are the joys of those who have mastered you! Who can reveal and tell your secret and hidden things!

Oraita! Oraita! what shall I say of you, lovely doe and graceful she-ibex,
