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 When I call Him
i ndoircheacht na hoíche 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 There is no one so
throicaireacht nó grá full of mercy and love
Ní féidir do There is no way
chumhacht a thuiscint 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)
Tagann sé ar na dtonnta He goes on the waves
Comhlíonann sé mo ghuí He hears my prayer
Nuair a ghlaochaim When I call Him
