Sleep now, sleep now, little king, sleep now,
The queen of slumber will come to you,
The queen of slumber will come,
Bearing toys, overflowing with love,
The queen of slumber will come,
Sleep now, sleep now, little king.
A toy of life, a hope so bright,
A toy of life, a hope so bright,
A dream, a wild and fervent dream, yes, a dream,
With these, your kingdom sways and plays,
Your little kingdom, far beyond your sight, youth stands,
Smiling, watching your sweet play,
Sleep now, sleep now, little king.
A toy, the moon of joy,
A toy, the moon of joy,
A star, the star of fate,
Yes, a star of fate,
Together, they weave a game,
Beloved, cherished king, beloved, cherished king,
Childhood laughs and sings,
The mother's melody will play,
The queen of slumber will come,
Sleep now, sleep now, little king,
Sleep now, sleep now, little king.
