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