Sleep my baby on my bosom
Cozy and warm is this;
Mother’s arms are tight around you,
Mother’s love is under my breast;
Nothing may affect your sleeping,
No-one will cross you;
Sleep quietly, dear child,
Sleep sweetly on your mother’s breast.

Sleep quietly, tonight, sleep;
Sleep sweetly, the pretty of his picture;
Why are you now smiling,
Smiling softly in your sleep?
Are angels above smiling,
On you smiling joyfully,
You smiling back in sleeping,
Sleeping quietly on my breast?

Do not fear, nothing but a leaf
Knocks, knocks on the door;
Do not fear, a small lonely wave
Murmurs, murmurs on the seashore;
Sleep child, there’s nothing here
Nothing to give you a fright;
Smile quietly in my bosom,
On the angels white yonder.

Sleep child on my bosom
Cozy and warm is this;
Mother’s arms are tight around you,
Mother’s love is under my breast;
Nothing may affect your napping,
No man will cross you;
Sleep quietly, dear child,
Sleep sweetly on your mother’s breast.

Sleep quietly, tonight, sleep;
Sleep sweetly, the pretty of his picture;
Why are you now smiling,
Smiling softly in your sleep?
Are angels above smiling,
Do not fear, nothing but a leaf
Knocks, knocks on the door;
Do not fear, a small lonely wave
Murmurs, murmurs on the seashore;
Sleep child, there’s nothing here
Smile quietly in my bosom,
On the angels white yonder.

Sleep child on my bosom
Cosy and warm it is;
Mother’s arms are tight around you,
Mother’s love fills my breast.

Nothing can trouble your slumber,
No man will cross you;
Sleep quietly, dear child,
Sleep sweetly on your mother’s breast.

Sleep quietly, tonight, sleep;
Sleep sweetly, the prettiest picture;
Why are you now smiling,
Smiling softly in your sleep?

Are angels above smiling
On you, smiling joyfully,
You smiling back in sleep,
Quiet sleep on my breast?

Do not fear, nothing but a leaf
Knocks, knocks on the door;
Do not fear, a small lonely wave
Murmurs, murmurs on the seashore.

Sleep child, there’s nothing here
Nothing to give you a fright;
Smile quietly on my bosom
At yonder angels white.
