Chorus
:
|
|
Seoithín seothó, mo stór é mo leanabh
|
Seoithín seothó, my treasure is my child
|
|
Mo sheod gan chealg, mo chuid den tsaol mór
|
My jewel without a sharp point, my part of the big world
|
|
Seoithín seothó, nach mór é an taitneamh
|
Seoithín seothó, isn't it a great joy
|
|
Mo stóirín ina leaba ina chodladh gan bhrón
|
My little treasure in his bed asleep without sorrow
|
|
A leanbh, mo chléibh, go n-éirí do chodladh leat
|
Sleep well, child of my heart
|
|
Slán agus sonas a choíche 'do chomhair
|
May you always be safe and happy
|
|
Seo beannacht Mhic Dé agus téagar a Bhuime leat
|
May God bless you
|
|
Téiríg a chodladh gan bíogadh go ló
|

|
|
|
|
|
Ar mhullach an tí tá síoga geala
|
At the top of the house there are bright fairies
|
|
Fá chaoin ré an earraigh ag imirt a spóirt
|
Playing and disporting under the soft moonlight
|
|
Is seo iad aniar chun glaoigh ar mo leanbh
|
Here they come now to call to my child
|
|
Le mian é tharraingt isteach sa lios mór
|
Wishing to lure him into the big fairy fort
|
|
Goirm tú, a chroí, ní bhfaighfidh siad do mhealladh
|
Bravo, sweetheart, they will not succeed in enticing you
|
|
Le brí a gcleas ná le binneas a gceoil
|
With the cleverness of their tricks or the sweetness of their music
|
|
Táimse led' thaoibh ag guí ort na mbeannacht
|
I am by your side praying for blessings on you
|
|
Seoithín, a leanbh, ní himtheo' tú leo
|
Seoithín, little one, you will not go with them
|
|
|
|
|
(Curfá)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
Ós comhair mo lao, go míochair ceanúil
|
Before my darling, tenderly and kind
|
|
Tá díl-roisc aingeal ag faire ina threo
|
The loving eyes of angels are looking towards him
|
|
Le mór-ghrá dian á iarraidh chun bealaigh
|
With great, strong love enticing him away
|
|
Mar b'aoibhne flaithis dá raghadh sé leo
|
For heaven would be more beautiful to them if he does
|
|
A stór mo chroí, luigh siar i do leaba
|
Love of my heart, lie back in your bead
|
|
Taobh le do Mham is ea fanfair go fóill
|
You will stay a while beside your mam
|
|
Ní mór liom do Dhia mo shiamsa 'gus m'aiteas
|
Nothing to me before God are my sport and pleasure
|
|
Mo riocht ar talamh i dteannta mo bhróid
|
My earthly shape along with my pride
|
|
|
|
|
Seoithín seothó, mo stór é mo leanabh
|
Seoithín seothó, my treasure is my child
|
|
Mo sheod gan chealg, mo chuid den tsaol mór
|
My jewel without a sharp point, my part of the big world
|
|
Seoithín seothó, nach mór é an taitneamh
|
Seoithín seothó, isn't it a great joy
|
|
Mo stóirín ina leaba ina chodladh gan bhrón
|
My little treasure in his bed asleep without sorrow
|
