Téann sé leis an ngaoth Tagann sé ar na dtonnta Comhlíonann sé mo ghuí Nuair a ghlaochaim i ndoircheacht na hoíche
Curfá: Suan, suan, suan Codhlaím go suan, a Íosa Suan, suan, suan Codhlaím go sámh id' chroí
Nochtar é sa tús San leanbh nua bheirthe Maireann sé sa chríoch Ar scaradh anam is coirp
(Curfá)
Do sharú níl ann ar throicaireacht nó grá Ní féidir do chumhacht a thuiscint Is tusa mo mhuinteoir s'treoraí Codhlaím go suan id' chroí
(Curfá 3x)
He comes with the wind He goes on the waves He hears my prayer When I call Him in the darkest moment of the night
Chorus: Softly, softly, softly I sleep softly, my Christ Softly, softly, softly I sleep softly in Your heart
Naked He stands at the dawn In the new-born child He is there at the end As the soul parts from the body
(Chorus)
There is no one so full of mercy and love There is no way to understand Your goodness You are my teacher and guide I sleep softly in Your heart
(Chorus 3x)
