Hebrew Lyrics
Numi Numi yaldati,
Numi numi nim
Numi Numi chemdati,
Numi numi nim.
Abba halach la-avodah
Halach halach abba.
Yashuv im tzet ha-levana
Yavilakh matana.
Numi Numi...
Abba halach el ha-kramim
Halach halach abba
Yashuv im tzet ha cochavim
yavilakh anavim
Translation
Sleep, sleep my little girl.
Your father will return from work
with a gift when the moon rises.
(comments from another user): I know this song with Yiddish lyrics (my grandmother sang it to me) and would like to find a Yiddish version to buy or at least see the lyrics of. They went like this: "Lu li, lu li, klaynike, lu li lu li lu. Lu li, lu li, shaynike, lu li lu li lu. Dayn tateh iz in feld avek..." I can't remember the rest. Anyone know where to find this? I found it in Hebrew on a recording by Tanja Solnik.
