Adhraim mo leanbh beag tagtha ar an saol, Codail, a linbh, go sámh. Adhraim a laige is a loime nocht fhaon, Codail, a linbh, go sámh. Inis, a ghrá liom, id luí sa mhainséar, Inis cén fáth dhuit bheith sínte sa bhféar, Is tú Coimhde na nGrásta agus Íosa Mac Dé, Codail, a linbh, go sámh.
A Mhuire, a Mháthair, is a Bhuime mhín tséimh, Codail, a linbh, go sámh. Is mé Coimhde na nGrásta agus Íosa Mac Dé, Codail, a linbh, go sámh. Go beo bocht a thánag le mian ar an saol, Chun deoraithe fánacha a shaoradh ón éag, Is nuair a chrochfar i n-áirde mé claonfaid chugham féin, Codail, a linbh, go sámh.
I worship my little child, who has come into the world, Sleep peacefully, my child. I worship his weakness and his bare nakedness, Sleep peacefully, my child. Tell me, my love, as you lie in the manger, Tell me why you are stretched on the hay, [When] you are the Keeper of the Graces and Jesus the Son of God, Sleep peacefully, my child.
Mary, my mother, my sweet gentle nurse, Sleep peacefully, my child. I am the Keeper of the Graces and Jesus the Son of God, Sleep peacefully, my child. Truly poor I came into the world by my own choice, To save straying wanderers from death, And when I am hung on high, they will turn to me. Sleep peacefully, my child. Sleep peacefully, my child.
