Oh, Moon Mama, dear Moon Mama,
Bring slumber, Oh, dear Moon Mama.
Bring slumber, Oh, dear Moon Mama.
Caress the lids, that open, close,
Sing a lullaby, where sweet sleep grows.
Caress the lids, that open, close,
Sing a lullaby, where sweet sleep grows.
Oh, Moon Mama, dear Moon Mama,
Bring slumber, Oh, dear Moon Mama.
Bring slumber, Oh, dear Moon Mama.
Sleep plays hide-and-seek, a fickle guest,
Comes a little, then departs, no rest.
Sleep plays hide-and-seek, a fickle guest,
Comes a little, then departs, no rest.
Sleep, in eyes so dear, like dark bees paired,
Sleep, in eyes so dear, like dark bees paired,
Lull the bees to sleep on flower beds,
Sing a lullaby, where sweet sleep spreads.
Lull the bees to sleep on flower beds,
Sing a lullaby, where sweet sleep spreads.
Oh, Moon Mama, dear Moon Mama,
Bring slumber, Oh, dear Moon Mama.
Bring slumber, Oh, dear Moon Mama.
I'll offer milk and rice, if you descend,
Gold rays shall be your crown, that will never end.
I'll offer milk and rice, if you descend,
Gold rays shall be your crown, that will never end.
I'll ward off shadows, lull awake eyes to rest,
I'll ward off shadows, lull awake eyes to rest,
Do not return, until sleep is found,
Sing a lullaby, where sweet sleep is bound.
Do not return, until sleep is found,
Sing a lullaby, where sweet sleep is bound.
Oh, Moon Mama, dear Moon Mama,
Bring slumber, Oh, dear Moon Mama.
Bring slumber, Oh, dear Moon Mama.
The heavens hold a million stars, but mine is one,
There's no one in the world, more loved than my son.
The heavens hold a million stars, but mine is one,
There's no one in the world, more loved than my son.
Moon Mama sings a lullaby, my darling sleeps,
Moon Mama sings a lullaby, my darling sleeps,
Scatter silver moonlight, softly and low,
Sing a lullaby, where sweet sleep will grow.
Scatter silver moonlight, softly and low,
Sing a lullaby, where sweet sleep will grow.
Oh, Moon Mama, dear Moon Mama,
Bring slumber, Oh, dear Moon Mama.
Bring slumber, Oh, dear Moon Mama.
