Brahm's Lullaby

 

This is one of several versions of the song in English, and is followed by the song in German


 

Lullaby and goodnight, in the sky stars are bright

Round your head, flowers gay- scent your slumbers till day.

Close your eyes now and rest, may these hours be blest

Go to sleep now and rest, may these hours be blest

 

Guten Abend, gut Nacht, mit Rosen bedacht,

Mit Naglein besteckt, Schlupf unter die Deck ( the "a" in Naglein has an umlaut and is pronounced "eh")

Morgen fruh, wenn Gott will, wirst du wieder geweckt ( the "u" in fruh has an umlaut and is pronounced "oo")

Morgen fruh, wenn Gott will, wirtst du wieder geweckt

 

Trot Ol Joe 

 

substitutions: (have fun singing about your favorite treat!

 

Hot cocoa, hot cocoa, it tastes great with a marshmallow

Hot cocoa, hot cocoa, it goes down fast with a marshmallow.....Oh, Oh!

 

Applesauce, applesauce, pour some cinnamon on top

Applesauce, applesauce, stir it up and eat it all......yum, yum!

 

My Lady Wind (lullaby lyrics)

 

I love my mommy, I love my mommy,

And I know she loves me too,

I love my mommy.

(substitute your child's name, and then name all of the people you love......)
