Sleep, my darling baby, sleep

(Lag: Sofðu unga ástin mín)

Sleep, my darling baby, sleep.

Rain is gently falling

Mother will your treasures keep.

Hidden where the shadows creep.

Hush thee, my baby, nights for rest is calling.

Secrets hide ´neath darkness wings.

Hewy is my dreaming

Often I've seen black desert sand as brings

Death to the meadow and, green growing things

Silent, the deadly glacial beckons screaming.

Slumber now and waken late

Quiet, peaceful sleeping

Life, her sorrow soon will relate

As sure as day will meet its fate

Often one loves, only missing, losing and weeping.

Go back
