Bi-Se I Mo Shuil (Part 1) - Iona

Bi-se i mo shuil

A Ri mhor na nduil

Lion thusa mo bheatha

Mo cheadfai’s mo stuaim

Bi thusa i m’aigne

Gach oiche’s gach la

Im chodladh no im dhuiseacht

Lion me le do gra

Bi thusa mo threoru

I mbriathar is i mbeart

Fan thusa go deo liom is

Coinnigh me ceart

Glac curam mar athair

Is eist le mo ghui

Is tabhair domsa ait conai

Istigh i do chroi

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

Be my eyes, O king of creation

Fill my life with understanding

And patience

Will You be my mind every night

And every day

Sleeping or awake

Fill me with Your love

Will You be my guidance

In my words and actions

Stay with me forever

And keep me on the right path

As my Father take care of me

And listen to my prayers

And give me a place

To live inside Your heart)

Be my eye

A Ri mhor na nduil

You fill my life

My sanity, my sanity

Be in my mind

Every night’s every day

In sleep or in waking

Fill me with your love

Be my guide

In verb and in measure

Stay with me forever

Keep me right

Take care as a father

Listen to my prayer

Give me a place to live

Inside your heart
