Lyrics
Dún do Shúile (Close Your Eyes) (Irish)
Dún do shúile a rún mo chroí
A chuid den tsaol is a ghrá liom.
Dún do shúile a rún mo chroí
Is gheobhair féirín amárach.
Beidh do fhear ag tiocht gan mhoill ón g'cnoc
Agus cearca fraoch ina lámh leis.
Codail go ciúin a lao is a chuid
Agus gheobhair féirín amárach.
Curfá
Tá an Samhradh ag triall le grian is teas
Agus duilliúr glas ar phrataí
Tá an ghaoth ag tiocht go fírinneach
Is gheobhaimid iasc amárach.
Curfá

Close Your Eyes (English Translation)
Chorus:
Close your eyes darling of my heart
My share of the world, my love
Close your eyes darling of my heart
And you'll get something good tomorrow
Your Dad will soon come home from the hill
With a grouse in his hand.
Oh sleep calmly, oh treasure, my treasure
And you'll get something good tomorrow
Chorus
Summer is coming with sunshine and heat
And the leaves are green on the potatoes.
The wind is coming strongly from the south
And we will get fish tomorrow.
Chorus
