Curfá: |
Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Dún do shúil, a rún mo chroí |
Close your eyes, machree |
|
A chuid den tsaol, 's a ghrá liom |
My worldly joy, my treasure |
|
Dún do shúil, a rún mo chroí |
Close your eyes, machree |
|
Agus gheobhair feirín amárach |
And you will get a present tomorrow |
| |
|
|
Tá do dheaid ag teacht gan mhoill ón chnoc |
Your dad is coming from the hills |
|
Agus cearca fraoich ar láimh leis |
With game and grouse in plenty |
|
Agus codlaidh go ciúin 'do luí sa choid |
So close your eyes, my love, my joy |
|
Agus gheobhair feirín amárach |
And you will get a present tomorrow |
| |
|
|
Tá an samhradh ag teacht le grian is le teas |
The summer sun shines bright and warm |
|
Agus duilliúr ghlas ar phrátaí |
And potato stalks grow greener |
|
Tá an ghaoth ag teacht go fial aneas |
A bracing breeze blows from the south |
|
Agus gheobhaimid iasc amárach |
And we will have fish tomorrow |
