|
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 |
