Lyrics: |
English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Téann sé leis an ngaoth |
He comes with the wind |
|
Tagann sé ar na dtonnta |
He goes on the waves |
|
Comhlíonann sé mo ghuí |
He hears my prayer |
|
Nuair a ghlaochaim i ndoircheacht na hoíche |
When I call Him in the darkest moment of the night |
| |
|
|
Curfá: |
Chorus: |
|
Suan, suan, suan |
Softly, softly, softly |
|
Codhlaím go suan, a Íosa |
I sleep softly, my Christ |
|
Suan, suan, suan |
Softly, softly, softly |
|
Codhlaím go sámh id' chroí |
I sleep softly in Your heart |
| |
|
|
Nochtar é sa tús |
Naked He stands at the dawn |
|
San leanbh nua bheirthe |
In the new-born child |
|
Maireann sé sa chríoch |
He is there at the end |
|
Ar scaradh anam is coirp |
As the soul parts from the body |
| |
|
|
(Curfá) |
(Chorus) |
| |
|
|
Do sharú níl ann ar throicaireacht nó grá |
There is no one so full of mercy and love |
|
Ní féidir do chumhacht a thuiscint |
There is no way to understand Your goodness |
|
Is tusa mo mhuinteoir s'treoraí |
You are my teacher and guide |
|
Codhlaím go suan id' chroí |
I sleep softly in Your heart |
| |
|
|
(Curfá 3x) |
(Chorus 3x) |
