Dún Do Shúil (Close Your Eyes)
Dún do shúil, a rún mo chroÃ
A chuid den tsaol, 's a ghrá liom
Dún do shúil, a rún mo chroÃ
Agus gheobhair feirÃn amárach
Tá do dheaid ag teacht gan mhoill ón chnoc
Agus cearca fraoich ar láimh leis
Agus codlaidh go ciúin 'do luà sa choid
Agus gheobhair feirÃn amárach
Dún do shúil, a rún mo chroÃ
A chuid den tsaol, 's a ghrá liom
Dún do shúil, a rún mo chroÃ
Agus gheobhair feirÃn amárach
Tá an samhradh ag teacht le grian is le teas
Agus duilliúr ghlas ar phrátaÃ
Tá an ghaoth ag teacht go fial aneas
Agus gheobhaimid iasc amárach
Dún do shúil, a rún mo chroÃ
A chuid den tsaol, 's a ghrá liom
Dún do shúil, a rún mo chroÃ
Agus gheobhair feirÃn amárach

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
