ねんねんころりよ
おころりよ
ぼうやはよい子だ
ねんねしな
ぼうやのおもりは
どこへいった
あの山越えて
里へいった
里のみやげに
なにもろた
でんでんたいこに
しょうの笛
Edo Lullaby
(By Lynne Hobdy)
Sleep my baby, sleep my lovely,
Close your eyes, my sweet.
When you sleep you're such a good baby
Sleep my darling, sleep.
Where's your nanny, my sweet baby,
Where oh where's she gone?
Over mountains she has traveled,
To her parents' home.
Tell me what she gave you darling,
Won't you let me see.
As a souvenir she gave you,
A flute and a drum.
