Like the sun quenched its first dawning
The moon lost to the sea
Like the dew lost unto the morning
So you, my love, were lost to me
I can hear now the pipers calling
On that far distant shore
And my tears now like leaves are falling
And I will see your face no more
You are sleeping, you are sleeping
Oh, no sleep or peace can comfort me
I am weeping, oh, I am weeping
'Til I will sleep in sleep with thee
You are sleeping, you are sleeping
Oh, no sleep or peace can comfort me
I am weeping, oh, I am weeping
'Til I will sleep in sleep with thee
Seoithín seo hó, seoithín seó
Seoithín seo, seoithín ó
Seoithín seo hó, ó seoithín seó
'Til I will sleep in sleep with thee
