Sáimhín Só is the Lurgan version of Let Her Go by Passenger.
Though it is MUCH better to listen to the students singing the song and imitate them, these approximations of pronunciations may help some people who want to learn more of the language.
BTW If you are a complete beginner and want to learn a simple way to read and speak the Irish language, please explore: https://ancroiait.wordpress.com/2012/01/04/learn-irish-lesson-1/
Here’s how I arranged each line of the song in four parts
Line 1: Correct Irish
Line 2: Approximate sound
Line 3. Word for word translation
Line 4. Translation
Note: Something to learn from this line

Before you begin, please note: ch is a gentle short gargling sound.
G and C are always hard sounds (never j or s)
o is o as in orange
ó is o as in only

Curfá Chorus
Bhuel, ní theastaíonn solas uait ach i lár an cheo.
well, nee hasteeon sulus wet och i lawr on chyó
Well, not need light from you but in middle the of-fog
Well, you don’t need light except in the middle of fog.
Note: Use Teastaíonn …. uaim when you need something. Teastaíonn seomra (shó mra) uaim means I need a room.

Ní theastaíonn uait an tine nuair ‘tá sí ag dó.
Nee hasteeon wet on ti-ne noor taw shee eg dó.
Not need from you the fire when is she ing- burn.
You don’t need the fire when it’s burning.
Note: The word for fire tine is feminine. The word for the month May is Bealtaine or the fire of Bel. http://www.applewarrior.com/celticwell/ejournal/beltane/belenos.htm

Nee areeun too ayn oo-ocht er du hawv – een só.
Not feel you any cold on your tranquil-little rest
You don’t feel any cold when you’re at ease.
Note: The ending ín for small. It’s like …ito in Spanish. Nóra ► Nóirín (little Nora). It makes things cuter.

beeun too cróga riv on ee ‘s ay* in a ló
Be you brave before the night and it in its day.
You’re brave about the night when it’s day.
Note: *the word é (ay) is said as í (ee) in the song but it is more correct to say é as day is masculine.

On rud a veeoch ot will shay wet nees mó
The thing that used to be at you, is it [needed] from you more
That which you’ve had, do you want it any more?
Note: The short way to say I need is Is something [needed] from me. Tá,,, uaim. Tá seomra uaim means I need/want a room.

Mar nach n-airíonn tú aon fhuacht ar do sháimhín só,

Because don’t feel you any cold on your tranquil-little rest.
Because you don’t feel any cold when you’re at ease,
Note: Cold (noun) is Fuacht. The cold is An fhuacht. When the second letter is h, it often cancels the sound of the first letter.

Verse
Súile dúnta, feiceann tú a haghaidh.
Soo le doon tu fekun too a ha ee
Eyes closed see you her face.
Eyes closed, you see her face.
Note: Aghaidh is pronouced like the English word I. That’s really a and ee together. The gh and dh are not heard.
They’re there to make the a, a (it’s usually pronounces o) and the i a long ee.
Ní bhfaighfidh tú codladh anocht d’aon saghas.
nee wee-ee too cula ‘nucht d’ayn sa-ees
not get-will you sleep tonight of any type.
You won’t get sleep tonight of any kind.
Note: the sound of bhfaighfidh varies with dialects. Another version is waee.
The bh can be pronounced as w or v. The dh and gh are not pronounced in this word. They make the i a long ee.

Tabhair do ghrá di ‘s beir an praghas.
toor du ghraw di s bayr on praees

Cloigh leis an mbrionglóid (a) tá ‘at.
Clee lesh on mring lóid [a] taw ad
Stick with it the dream [that] is at you

Note: when n and b come together in certain combinations it sounds like m. An brionglóid ► an mbrionglóid and the b sound is lost.

Eg de-re na dawla baee on coleen sho lat

Note: Leat is one word in Irish and two in English (with you) The letter t at the end of the word indicates you.
