| Suan oh suan, mo leanbh beag
| Sleep oh sleep, my little baby
|
| Suan oh suan, tá an lá ag beagnach thart
| Sleep oh sleep, the day is almost over
|
| Beidh mé ar do thaobh
| I will be by your side
|
| 'S ní fhágfaidh mé go deo thú
| And I will never leave you
|
| Suan oh suan, mo roisín deas.
| Sleep oh sleep, my nice resin.
|
| Suan oh suan, beidh suíochán agat,
| Sleep oh sleep, you will have a seat,
|
| Suan oh suan, gar do mo chroí,
| Sleep oh sleep, close to my heart,
|
| Bí taibhreamh id chodladh
| Sleep id sleep
|
| 'S na haingil ag faire ort
| And the angels are watching you
|
| Suan oh suan, mo roisín deas.
| Sleep oh sleep, my nice resin.
|
| Suan oh suan, tóg sos mo grá geal,
| Sleep oh sleep, take a break my bright love,
|
| Tá an oíche ag teacht ag toraíocht an solais,
| Night is coming in search of light,
|
| Ach le breacadh an lae
| But at dawn
|
| Dúisfidh tú as do shuan
| You will wake up from your slumber
|
| Suan oh suan, mo roisín deas. | Sleep oh sleep, my nice resin. |
