Close your eyes, my my own My precious child, mo stóirín (my darling)
Dún do shúil, a rún mo chroí (Close your oh love of my heart) Is gheobhair feirín amárach (And you will get a 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 Ducks and eggs either hand 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, my treasure) Dún shúil, a rún mo chroí (Close your eyes, oh love of my heart) Agus gheobhair amárach (And you will get a present tomorrow)
