My sweet little darling, my comfort and joy,
(Sing lullaby, lulla!)
In beauty surpassing the princes of Troy,
(Sing lullaby, lulla!)
Now hush, child, now sleep, child, thy mother's sweet boy,
(Sing lullaby, lulla!)
The gods bless and keep thee from cruel annoy.
(Sing lulla, lulla, lulla)
Sweet baby, lulla, lulla!
Sweet baby, lullaby, lulla...
My sweet little darling, my comfort and joy,
(Sing lullaby, lulla!)
In beauty surpassing the princes of Troy,
(Sing lullaby, lulla!)
Now hush, child, now sleep, child, thy mother's sweet boy,
(Sing lulla, lulla, lulla)
Sweet baby, lulla, lulla...
Sweet baby! Lullaby, lulla...
