The roses go to sleep
in their rosebushes,
and go to sleep my son,
because it's time for bed.1
This little boy,
goes to sleep,
with one little eye closed
and the other as well.2
This little boy,
has no crib,
his father's a carpenter,
and he'll make him one.
This little boy,
who has been struck,
his little eyes seem tear
from having cried.
1. because it's very late (at night).2. he fell asleep
