The "Amhráin Mhuighe Seóla" prints this translation of the preceding.

curfa / chorus

Shoheen, shoho, my child is my treasure,
My jewel without guile, my share of the world,
Shoheen, shoho, how great is the delight,
My little treasure in his bed, asleep without sorrow.

remainder of verse 1:
Child of my bosom, may thy sleep thrive with you
Happiness and luck be ever in store for you
May the blessing of the Son of God, and the love of His nurse, be with you   
Go to sleep without start till day

both quatrains, verse 2:
On the Hill of the Sidhe are shining fairies
Under the fair moon of spring playing their games
And here they come eastward to call to my child
Wishing to lure him into the great fort
***
I call thee, my heart! They shall not entice you
By dint of their tricks, nor by the sweetness of their music
I am by your side praying blessings for you
Shoheen my child you will not go with them

both quatrains, verse 3:
Before my darling sweet and gentle
Kind angel eyes are gazing upon him
With great strong love inviting him away
For Heaven would be more delightful for them if he went with them
***
Treasure of my heart! Lie down in thy bed
Beside your mama you will abide still
God does not grudge me my play and my pleasure
My Heaven on earth along with my darling
(from pp. 66 - 67)

"...the Rev. Dean Malachy Eaton, of Maynooth, who assisted me from the beginning, [] very kindly took upon himself the whole burden of correction and translation....He tells me that in the work of translation [...] he had the assistance of numerous helpers, and that they do not ask for any thanks from me. The knowledge, apparently, that they may have been instrumental in saving even a few of the old songs is sufficient recompense for them."
