Sleep, my little heart,
calmly in your bed
Don't be anxious
Don't be afraid
For the black night,
over forest and land,
over wide waters,
is guarded by uncle strong
He has sharp eyes
and a big canon
And he does not let
any bastard over the bridge
If you get too close,
uncle puts a stop
Defending his honour
wherever he shows up
Sleep, my little heart,
calmly in your bed
Don't be anxious
Don't be afraid
Sleep, my little heart,
calmly in your bed
Don't be anxious
Don't be afraid
Nothing shall happen to you
Everything shall go well for you
For by the end of the bed,
an uncle is seen standing
He has sharp eyes
and a big canon
And he does not let
any bastard over the bridge
If someone were to test
uncle's patience,
he will in the next
moment lie in blood
Sleep, my little heart,
calmly in your bed
Don't be anxious
Don't be afraid
