Close Your Eyes

Close your eyes, my love, my own
My precious child, mo stóirín (my darling)

Dún do shúil, a rún mo chroí
(Close your eyes, oh love of my heart)
Is gheobhair feirín amárach
(And you will get a present tomorrow)

The summer's come with warmth and sun
The grainy leaves are growing
Softly sleep while watch I keep
The breezes gently blowing

Your father comes across the land
With gifts for you and for me
Ducks and eggs in either hand
And freshest fish from Tra Li

Dún do shúil, a rún mo chroí
(Close your eyes, oh love of my heart)
A chuid den tsaol, 's a ghrá liom
(My worldly joy, my treasure)
Dún do shúil, a rún mo chroí
(Close your eyes, oh love of my heart)
Agus gheobhair feirín amárach
(And you will get a present tomorrow)
