Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Codail suan, mo chadra bhán Sleep softly, my fair lamb
Codail sámh, a mhuirnín mhilis Sleep peacefully, my sweet darling
Luigh go ciúin sa chliabhán Lie quietly in the cradle
Dún do shúil, a leabh dhílis Close your eyes, my faithful child
   
Réalta geala anocht ag luascadh ins an spéir Bright stars tonight are rocking in the sky
Fuaim na coille agus ceol na hoíche Sounds of the forest and music of the night
   
Fág uait an olagán Leave aside your lamenting
Níl gá ar bith leis choíche There is no need for it anymore
   
Codail suan, mo chadra bhán Sleep softly, my fair lamb
Codail sámh, a mhuirnín mhilis Sleep peacefully, my sweet darling
Luigh go ciúin sa chliabhán Lie quietly in the cradle
Dún do shúil, a leabh dhílis Close your eyes, my faithful child
   
Réalta geala anocht ag luascadh ins an spéir Bright stars tonight are rocking in the sky
Fuaim na coille agus ceol na hoíche Sounds of the forest and music of the night
