| Curfá : | Chorus (after each verse) : |
| Dún do shúil, a rún mo chroí | Close your eyes, machree |
| A chuid den tsaol, 's a ghrá liom | My worldly joy, my treasure |
| Dún do shúil, a rún mo chroí | Close your eyes, machree |
| Agus gheobhair feirín amárach | And you will get a present tomorrow |
| Tá do dheaid ag teacht gan mhoill ón chnoc | Your dad is coming from the hills |
| Agus cearca fraoich ar láimh leis | With game and grouse in plenty |
| Agus codlaidh go ciúin 'do luí sa choid | So close your eyes, my love, my joy |
| Agus gheobhair feirín amárach | And you will get a present tomorrow |
| Tá an samhradh ag teacht le grian is le teas | The summer sun shines bright and warm |
| Agus duilliúr ghlas ar phrátaí | And potato stalks grow greener |
| Tá an ghaoth ag teacht go fial aneas | A bracing breeze blows from the south |
| Agus gheobhaimid iasc amárach | And we will have fish tomorrow |
