D탺 do sh탺il, a r탺 mo chroíƒ
A chuid den tsaol, 's a ghr탡 liom
D탺 do sh탺il, a r탺 mo chroíƒ
Agus gheobhair feiríƒ am탡rach
T탡 do dheaid ag teacht gan mhoill 탳 chnoc
Agus cearca fraoich ar l탡imh leis
Agus codlaidh go ci탺in 'do luíƒ sa choid
Agus gheobhair feiríƒ am탡rach
D탺 do sh탺il, a r탺 mo chroíƒ
A chuid den tsaol, 's a ghr탡 liom
D탺 do sh탺il, a r탺 mo chroíƒ
Agus gheobhair feiríƒ am탡rach
T탡 an samhradh ag teacht le grian is le teas
Agus duilli탺r ghlas ar phr탡taíƒ
T탡 an ghaoth ag teacht go fial aneas
Agus gheobhaimid iasc am탡rach
D탺 do sh탺il, a r탺 mo chroíƒ
A chuid den tsaol, 's a ghr탡 liom
D탺 do sh탺il, a r탺 mo chroíƒ
Agus gheobhair feiríƒ am탡rach

Close your eyes, machree
My worldly joy, my treasure
Close your eyes, machree
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
Close your eyes, machree
My worldly joy, my treasure
Close your eyes, machree
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
Close your eyes, machree
My worldly joy, my treasure
Close your eyes, machree
And you will get a present tomorrow
