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