Hi Everyone!

This is another song we've sung in Irish Gaelic, with translation following at the close of this introduction. It's about a mother singing a lullaby to her starving child telling that Da (the father) has gone a-fishing and hunting, and he will soon bring home some fresh food for the family to feast upon.

Many Irishmen went to sea or out to hunt with this same thought in their heads, only to leave many a family to starve and perish, because the father died while gathering food for the family.
It's a haunting melody that lingers on in the soul. We hope you enjoy it, as we do.

If you do, please give us a Like and Share it with your friends and family.

Thanks for watching,
Alora & Kyrie

English Translation
Close your eyes, O love of my heart
My everything and my love
Close your eyes, O love of my heart
And you will get a reward tomorrow

Your dad is coming from the hills
With game and grouse in plenty
So close your eyes, my love, my joy
And you will get a reward tomorrow

The summer sun shines bright and warm
And potato stalks grow greener
A bracing breeze blows from the south
And we will have fish tomorrow
