Yiddish Lyrics
Shlof, mayn kind, mayn treyst mayn sheyner,
Shlof-zhe, zunenyu.
Shlof, mayn lebn, mayn kadish eyner,
Shlof-zhe, lyu lyu lyu.
Shlof, mayn lebn, mayn kadish eyner,
Shlof-zhe, lyu lyu lyu.
Bay dayn vigl zitst dayn mame,
Zingt a lid un veynt.
Du vest amol farshteyn mistame,
Vos zi hot gemeynt.
Du vest amol farshteyn mistame,
Vos zi hot gemeynt
In Amerika iz der tate,
Dayner, zunyenyu.
Du bizt noch a kind l'es ate,
Shlof-zhe, lyu lyu lyu.
Du bizt noch a kind l'es ate,
Shlof-zhe, lyu lyu lyu.
Translation
Sleep my child, my beautiful one
Sleep, little son
Sleep, my life and only kaddish
Sleep ... "lyu lyu lyu"
