Sleep, little boy
Sleep in your cradle
Your mother tends to you
rocks you into sleep
Sleep, you down of grass
Sleep in your cradle
Like a water lily
so pure and innocent
Sandman will take you
to the land of dreams
row my child in his boat
to the Land of Dreams
There you will dance
with the fairies
Your mother will guard
your sleep with her song
Sleep, sleep quietly
sleep in your cradle
Mother's precious crops
bend down and get your rest
