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