Dún do shúile, a mhic na mara,
(Doon duh hoo-il-uh, uh vik nuh mor-uh)
Cluin an tonn ag teacht go mall.
(Klin un donn eg tyokht gu moll)
Codail go caoin ar chloich an chladaigh,
(Kud-il gu kween er khloikh un khlod-uh)
Tá do mháthair le do thaobh.
Óró, a ghasúir, ná bí ag caoineadh,
(Oh-roh, uh ghas-oor, naw bee eg kween-uh)
Cosnóidh an t-athair tú ón sráid.
(Kus-nohee un thah-hir too ohn sraid)
Is leatsa an doimhneacht, is leatsa an tírín,
(Is lyat-su un dyvn-ukht, is lyat-su un cheer-een)
A leanbh fiáin, dún do shúile anois.
(Uh lyan-iv fee-awn, doon duh hoo-il-uh uh-nish)
Close your eyes, son of the sea,
Hear the wave coming slowly.
Sleep gently on the stone of the shore,
Your mother is by your side.
Óró, young boy, do not be weeping,
Your father will protect you from the village.
The deep is yours, the land is yours,
My wild child, close your eyes now.
