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