Sleep my innocent, let angels watch you as you lay
And while in slumber harm will never come your way
On your journey may you dream away to freedom
So rest until the dawn when angels are reborn
Chorus:
Ley a-lua ley, a-lua ley-o
Ley a-lua ley a-lua ley
Knowing eyes reflecting good in all they may behold
Should rest that they allow their beauty to unfold
Harrowed mind that knows the inhumanities of mankind
May rest until the dawn when Angels are reborn
Chorus:
Ley a-lua ley, a-lua ley-o
Ley a-lua ley a-lua ley
Instrumental
Veh az ha Elohim yishmor aleynu (then God will watch over us)
And while in slumber harm will never come your way
Chorus
