Go to sleep my love
Don't fear a thing
My chest will keep you from the cold
Put (on it) your cold little hands
Hush, be quiet, for behind the hill
Death is already lurking
It will come, laden with thorns
With crosses, wearyness and nails
Grandmother, for a pair of brown eyes
Grandmother, to my star and my sky
Grandmother, to a newborn angel
Grandmother, which has left me asleep
When you smile, they light up
The windows of my being
How beautiful (it is) to give divine light
And what a delirium (it is) to want
I will always be by your side
So dream freely, little shepherd
Ala, ea, ea, ea
What a pity for my child
Grandmother, for a pair of brown eyes
Grandmother, to my star and my sky
Grandmother, to a newborn angel
Grandmother, which has left me asleep
