Text von Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
Too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
Hush now, don’t you cry.

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
Too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
That’s an Irish lullaby.

Over in Killarney, many years ago
My mother sang a song to me in tones so soft and low.
Just a simple little ditty in her good old Irish way
And I’d give the world if I could hear that song of hers today.

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
Too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
Hush now, don’t you cry.

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
Too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
That’s an Irish lullaby.

Oft, in dreams I wander to that cot again,
I feel her arms a huggin’ me as when she held me then.
And I hear her voice a humin’ to me as in days or yore,
When she used to rock me fast asleep outside the cabin door.

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
Too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
Hush now, don’t you cry.

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
Too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
That’s an Irish lullaby.
