A Yiddish Lullaby for Adults:
YIDDISH transliterated:
Leyg dayn kop oyf mayne kni,
Gut azoy tsu lign;
Kinder shlofn ayn aleyn,
Groyse dart men vign.
Kinder hobn shpilekhlekh,
Shpiln ven zey viln;
Groyse shpilri nor mit zikh,
Muzn eybik shpiln.
Hob nit moyre — ikh bin do,
Kh’vel dir nit farshtoysn;
Host genug geveynt shoyn haynt,
Vi es past a groysn.
Ongeveynt un ongeklogt —
Kh’vel dir itst farvign;
Leyg dayn kop oyf mayne kni,
Gut azoy tsu lign..
LYRICS English:
Lay your head upon my knees,
It’s good to lie that way.
Children fall asleep themselves,
Grown-ups must be rocked...
Children have their little toys,
And play whenever they will.
Grown-ups play by themselves,
And must always play.
Have no fear, for I am here.
I won’t push you away.
You have wept enough today,
As a grown-up must.
You have wept and cried,
Now I will rock you.
Lay your head upon my knees,
It’s good to lie that way.
