Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Sleep, baby sleep. Thy father guards the sheep, Thy mother shakes the dreamland tree, And from it fall sweet dreams for thee; Sleep, baby sleep. Sleep, baby sleep.
2. Sleep, baby sleep. The large stars are the sheep, The little ones, the lambs, I guess, The gentle one the shepherdess, Sleep, baby sleep. Sleep, baby sleep.
