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