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......)
