The Bird's Lullaby


Go to sleep now, go to sleep now, birdíní, birdíní
Go to sleep now, go to sleep now, birdíní, birdíní

Seothín, seothín [hush, hush]
Éaníní, éaníní [little birds, little birds]
Seothín, seothín [hush, hush]
Éaníní, éaníní [little birds, little birds]

East to Ardmór, with the birdíní, birdíní [ard=high, mór=great]
West to the shore, with the birdíní, birdíní

East to Trámhór, with the birdíní, birdíní [trá=strand, mór=great]
Over the fairy coast with the birdíní, birdíní

Lie down now, lie down now ye small birds, ye small birds
Lie down now, lie down now ye small birds, ye small birds

Go to sleep now, go to sleep now, birdíní, birdíní
Go to sleep now, go to sleep now, birdíní, birdíní

Seothín, seothín [hush, hush]
Éaníní, éaníní [little birds, little birds]
Seothín, seothín [hush, hush]
Éaníní, éaníní [little birds, little birds]

Je trouve que sa voix ressemble beaucoup à celle de Kathleen Ferrier. La chanson est très jolie.
