SLEEP, SLEEP

(LULLABY) 

Sleep, sleep, my little girl.
Sleep, sleep.
Sleep, sleep, my little one,
Sleep, sleep.

Daddy's gone to work -
He went, Daddy went.
He'll return when the moon comes out -
He'll bring you a present!

Sleep, sleep...

Daddy went to the vineyards -
He went, Daddy went.
He'll return when the stars come out -
He'll bring you grapes!

Sleep, sleep...

Daddy went to the orchard -
He went, Daddy went.
He'll return in the evening with the wind -
He'll bring an apple!

Sleep, sleep...

Daddy went to the field -
He went, Daddy went.
He'll come back in the evening with the shadows -
He'll bring you ears of grain!
