Close eyes, my love, my own My precious child, mo stóirín (my darling)
do shúil, a rún mo chroí (Close your eyes, oh love of my heart) Is gheobhair feirín amárach (And you will a present tomorrow)
The summer's come with and sun The grainy leaves are growing sleep while watch I keep The breezes gently blowing
Your father comes across the land With gifts for you and for me Ducks and eggs either hand freshest fish from Tra Li
Dún do shúil, a rún mo chroí your eyes, oh love of my heart) A chuid den tsaol, 's ghrá liom (My worldly joy, my treasure) Dún do shúil, a rún mo chroí (Close your eyes, oh love of my heart) Agus gheobhair amárach (And you will get a present tomorrow)
