Английские колыбельные песни

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green,
When I am king, dilly, dilly, you shall be queen.

Who told you so, dilly, dilly, who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly, dilly, that told me so.

Call up your men, dilly, dilly, set them to work
Some with a rake, dilly, dilly, some with a fork.

Some to make hay, dilly, dilly, some to thresh corn.
While you and I, dilly, dilly, keep ourselves warm.

Lavender's green, dilly, dilly, Lavender's blue,
If you love me, dilly, dilly, I will love you.

Let the birds sing, dilly, dilly, And the lambs play;
We shall be safe, dilly, dilly, out of harm's way.

I love to dance, dilly, dilly, I love to sing;
When I am queen, dilly, dilly, You'll be my king.

Who told me so, dilly, dilly, Who told me so?
I told myself, dilly, dilly, I told me so.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are.

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

When the blazing sun is gone,

When there's nothing he shines upon,

Then you show your little light,

Twinkle, twinkle, through the night.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

In the dark blue sky so deep

Through my curtains often peep

For you never close your eyes

’Til the morning sun does rise

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

How I wonder what you are

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

How I wonder what you are

Sleep little child, go to sleep,
Mother is here by thy bed.

Sleep little child, go to sleep,
Rest on the pillow thy head.

The world is silent and still,
The moon shines bright on the hill,
Then creeps past the window sill.

Sleep little child, go to sleep,
Oh sleep, go to sleep.

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep

Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true

When you are feeling small
Alone in the night you whisper
Thinking no one can hear you at all

You wake with the morning sunlight
To find fortune that is smiling on you
Don’t let your heart be filled with sorrow
For all you know tomorrow
The dream that you wish will come true

La la lu, La la lu
Oh, my little star sweeper
I’ll sweep the stardust for you

La la lu, La la lu
Little soft fluffy sleeper
Here comes a pink cloud for you

La la lu, La la lu
Little wandering angel
Fold up your wings for tonight

La la lu, La la lu
And may love be your keeper
La la lu, La la lu, La la lu

Hunan blentyn, are fy mynwes
Clyd a chynnes ydyw hon
Breichiau mam sy'n dyn amdanat
Cariad mam sy dan fy mron
Ni chaiff dim amharu'th gyntun
Ni wna undyn a thi gam
Huna'n dawel, annwyl bientyn
Huna'n fwyn are fron dy fam

Huna'n dawel hana huna
Huna'n fwyn why del ei lun
Pam yr wyt yn awr yn gwenum
Gwenu'n dirion yn dy hun
Ai angylion fry sy'n gwenu
Arnat yno'n gwenu'n lion
Titha'you'n gwenu'n ol a huno
Huno'n dawel are fy mron

Paid ag ofni, dim ond deilen
Gura, gura are why ddor
Paid aga ofni ton fach unig
Sua, sua are lan why mor
Huna blentyn nid oes yma
Ddim i roddi iti fraw
Gwena'n dawel are fy mynwes
are yr engyl gwynion draw

Lullaby, and good night
In the sky stars are bright
Close your eyes, start to yawn
Pleasant dreams until the dawn

Close your eyes now and rest
Lay your head on my breast
Go to sleep now and rest
May your slumber be blessed

Baloo baleerie, baloo baleerie

Baloo baleerie, baloo balee

Gang awa' peerie faeries,
Gang awa' peerie faeries,
Gang awa' peerie faeries,
Frae oor ben noo.

Baloo baleerie, baloo baleerie
Baloo baleerie, baloo balee

Doon come the bonny angels,
Doon come the bonny angels,
Doon come the bonny angels,
Tae oor ben noo.

Baloo baleerie, baloo baleerie
Baloo baleerie, baloo balee

Sleep saft my baby,
Sleep saft my baby,
Sleep saft my baby,
In oor ben noo.

Baloo baleerie, baloo baleerie
Baloo baleerie, baloo balee

Rock-a-bye, baby, in the treetop,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock;
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all.

Baby is drowsing, cosy and fair.
Mother sits near, in her rocking chair.
Forward and back the cradle she swings,
And though baby sleeps, he hears what she sings.

From the high rooftops down to the sea,
No one's as dear as baby to me.
Wee little fingers, eyes wide and bright -
Now sound asleep until morning light.

Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Mama's going to buy you a mockingbird.

If that mockingbird won't sing,
Papa's going to buy you a diamond ring.

If that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa's going to buy you a looking glass.

If that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's going to buy you a billy goat.

If that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's going to buy you a cart and bull.

If that cart and bull turn over,
Papa`s going to buy you a dog named Rover.

If that dog named Rover won't bark,
Papa's going to buy you a horse and cart.

If that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little boy in town.

The October winds lament
Around the Castle of Dromore,
Yet peace is in its lofty halls,
My loving treasure store.
Though autumn leaves may droop and die
A bud of spring are you.
Sing hush-a-bye loo, la loo, lo lan,
Sing hush-a-bye loo, la lo.

Bring no ill winds to hinder us,
My helpless babe and me,
Dread spirit of Blackwater banks,
Clan Owen's wild banshee.
And Holy Mary pitying us
In heav'n for grace doth sue.
Sing hush-a-bye loo, la loo, lo lan,
Sing hush-a-bye loo, la lo.

Take time to thrive, my rose of hope,
In the garden of Dromore.
Take heed, young eagle, till your wings
Are feathered fit to soar.
A little rest and then the world
Is full of work to do
Sing hush-a-bye loo, la loo, lo lan,
Sing hush-a-bye loo, la lo.

When it's time to go to bed
But you're not a sleepy head
Let's try something new
Let's try another tune...
Although you're in your bed-o
Pretend you're in a meadow
And count up all the sheep
As you slumber off to sleep
When you need to snooze there's nothing you can loose,
Sheep are to help you sleep!
Number 1: Plays accordian
Number 2: Looks like you!
Number 3: Says Wheeeee
Number 4: Says, here comes more!
Number 5: Jumps real high
Number 6: Is doing tricks!
Number 7: Engines Revinn'
Number 8, Number 8, Number 8's: Runnin' late
Number 9's: Right on time-
Number 10: Says sing it again!

Stay awake, don't rest your head
Don't lie down upon your bed
While the moon drifts in the skies
Stay awake, don't close your eyes

Though the world is fast asleep
Though your pillow's soft and deep
You're not sleepy as you seem
Stay awake, don't nod and dream
Stay awake, don't nod and dream

Though the world is fast asleep
Though your pillow's soft and deep
You're not sleepy as you seem
Stay awake, don't nod and dream
Stay awake, don't nod and dream

Nighty night, sleep tight
Nighty night, sweet dreams
Nighty night, till the morning light
It’s time to dream of happy things
Nighty night, sleep tight
Nighty night, sweet dreams
It’s time to take a break from play
And you’ll wake up to a brand new day
And while the stars area shining
and the moon is all a glow
You’ll be off in sleepy land
A place where dreamers love to go

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 lullaby lulla.
Sweet baby, lulla lulla, sweet baby, lullaby, lulla.

Sun down, stars rise
Little baby's rubbing her eyes
Lights low, moon high
High up in the sleepytime skies

Dream land, time fly
Listen to the lullaby
Cats purr, fish glide
On their way to sleepytime skies

Sleepytime skies, just a breath away
Baby can fly through the milky way

Night fall, earth spin
Mother Nature's turning in
Sea ebbs, tears dry
Baby's lost in sleepytime skies

Sleepytime skies
Just a breath away
Baby can fly through the milky way

Sun down, stars rise
Little baby's rubbing her eyes
Lights low, moon high
High up in the sleepytime skies

High up in the sleepytime skies
Drifting in the sleepytime skies

Take off the socks
Slip out of the shoes
Dad fell asleep
While watching the news
Daddy is snoring
And he doesn't hear
I kiss him "good night!"
Mom whispers "come here"
Let's take daddy up to bed

Sleep, daddy, sleep
When you dream, dream sweet
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

My little brother
Is drinking his milk
His eyes are so heavy
His hair is like silk
Mama she rocks him
Safe in her lap
Every thing stops
He's taking a nap
Let's take baby up to bed

Sleep, baby, sleep
When you dream, dream sweet
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Mama just washed my flannel PJs
Hot from the drier
I like 'em that way
I hop into bed
She tucks me in tight
I give her a hug
And whisper "good night!"

I can't wait to go to bed!

Sleep, time to sleep
Going to dream, dream sweet
