歌词
Codail suan, mo chadra bhán, codail sámh, a mhuirnín mhilis,
(sleep soundly, my white lamb, sleep deeply, my sweet darling,)
luigh go ciúin sa chliabhán,dún do shúil, a leanbh dhílis.
(lie quietly in the cradle, close your eyes, my faithful child.)
réalta geala anocht ag luascadh ins an spéir, fuaim na coille agus ceol na hoíche;
(bright stars tonight are rocking in the sky, forest-sounds and night-music;)
fág uait an olagón, níl gá ar bith leis choíche.
(leave aside your lamenting, there is no need for it anymore)
