Oró mo leanbh beag Fan na luí ag mo thaobh Ná scar uaim
Oró mo stóirín Thug tú dochas mo stóirín Go mbeidh mé slán
Codladh sámh, codladh sámh Codladh sámh a páiste mo chroí...
Oró mo leanbh beag Glac mo chomhairle cinnte Mo grá go sámh
Oró mo leanbh beag Agus paidir ó mo chroí Tá do tsaol romhat
Oh, my little baby Always stay by my side Do not part from me
Oh my darling You give me hope, my darling My I be safe
Sleep peacefully, sleep peacefully Sleep peacefully, my sweet child...
Oh my little babe Take my sure advice My peaceful love
Oh my little babe And a prayer from my heart For the life in front of you
