Put your head to rest now, child.
Sleep at last as though not- troubled.
Rest peacefully without a thought,
So that I may do the same.

Put your head to rest now, my dear,
Forget all your troubles and dream.
For tomorrow may come
And you must be prepared for it.

My sweet, only child.
The light of my dreams.
You make all my problems
Appear so unseemly.

I adore you with my soul,
I love you with my heart,
Put your head to rest now, my sweet,
So that tomorrow will arrive.

Put your head to rest now, child.
Sleep at last without a trouble.
Rest peacefully like the angel you are,
So that I may do the same.
