Lyrics of Suan - Rua

Suan (original)

Suan oh suan, mo leanbh beag
Suan oh suan, tá an lá ag beagnach thart
Beidh mé ar do thaobh
'S ní fhágfaidh mé go deo thú
Suan oh suan, mo roisín deas.
Suan oh suan, beidh suíochán agat,
Suan oh suan, gar do mo chroí,
Bí taibhreamh id chodladh
'S na haingil ag faire ort
Suan oh suan, mo roisín deas.
Suan oh suan, tóg sos mo grá geal,
Tá an oíche ag teacht ag toraíocht an solais,
Ach le breacadh an lae
Dúisfidh tú as do shuan
Suan oh suan, mo roisín deas.

(translation)

Sleep oh sleep, my little baby
Sleep oh sleep, the day is almost over
I will be by your side
And I will never leave you
Sleep oh sleep, my nice resin.
Sleep oh sleep, you will have a seat,
Sleep oh sleep, close to my heart,
Sleep id sleep
And the angels are watching you
Sleep oh sleep, my nice resin.
Sleep oh sleep, take a break my bright love,
Night is coming in search of light,
But at dawn
You will wake up from your slumber
Sleep oh sleep, my nice resin.
