|
|
|
Adhraim mo leanbh beag tagth' ar an saol
|
I worship you, my little child come on earth
|
|
Codail, a linbh, go sámh
|
Sleep peacefully, my child
|
|
Adhraim a laige, a loime nocht faon
|
I worship him, weak, naked and helpless
|
|
Codail, a linbh, go sámh
|
Sleep peacefully, my child
|
|
|
|
|
Inis, a ghrá, liom, id' luí sa mhainséar
|
Tell me, my love, as you lie in the manger
|
|
Inis cén fath dhuit bheith sínte san fhéar
|
Tell me why you lay stretched in the straw
|
|
Is tú coimhde na ngrásta 'gus Íosa, Mac Dé
|
You are a treasury of grace, and Jesus, Son of God
|
|
Codail, a linbh, go sámh
|
Sleep peacefully, my child
|
|
Codail, a linbh, go sámh
|
Sleep peacefully, my child
|
|
|
|
|
A Mhuire, a mhathair's a bhuime mhín tséimh
|
Mary, my mother and gentle nurse
|
|
Codail, a linbh, go sámh
|
Sleep peacefully, my child
|
|
Is mé coimhde na ngrásta 'gus Íosa, Mac Dé
|
I am a treasury of grace, and Jesus, Son of God
|
|
Codail, a linbh, go sámh
|
Sleep peacefully, my child
|
|
|
|
|
Ach go beo bocht a tháinig le mian ar an saol
|
Desperately poor, I came with desire into this world
|
|
Chun deoraithe fánacha a shaoradh ón éag
|
To save wandering exiles from death
|
|
Is nuair 'chrochfar in airde mé claonfaid chugam féin
|
And when I am suspended on high they will lean towards me
|
|
Codail, a linbh, go sámh
|
Sleep peacefully, my child
|
|
Codail, a linbh, go sámh
|
Sleep peacefully, my child
|
