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