Díºn Do Shíºil (Close Your Eyes)

Díƒº do shíƒºil, a ríƒº mo chroíƒ

A chuid den tsaol, 's a ghríƒ¡ liom

Díƒº do shíƒºil, a ríƒº mo chroíƒ

Agus gheobhair feiríƒ amíƒ¡rach

Tíƒ¡ do dheaid ag teacht gan mhoill íƒ³ chnoc

Agus cearca fraoich ar líƒ¡imh leis

Agus codlaidh go ciíƒºin 'do luíƒ sa choid

Agus gheobhair feiríƒ amíƒ¡rach

Díƒº do shíƒºil, a ríƒº mo chroíƒ

A chuid den tsaol, 's a ghríƒ¡ liom

Díƒº do shíƒºil, a ríƒº mo chroíƒ

Agus gheobhair feiríƒ amíƒ¡rach

Tíƒ¡ an samhradh ag teacht le grian is le teas

Agus duilliíƒºr ghlas ar phríƒ¡taíƒ

Tíƒ¡ an ghaoth ag teacht go fial aneas

Agus gheobhaimid iasc amíƒ¡rach

Díƒº do shíƒºil, a ríƒº mo chroíƒ

A chuid den tsaol, 's a ghríƒ¡ liom

Díƒº do shíƒºil, a ríƒº mo chroíƒ

Agus gheobhair feiríƒ amíƒ¡rach

TRANSLATION

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
