Shlof Shoin Main Jankele

Schlof sche mir schoyn Jankele mayn scheyner,
Di Eygelach di schwatsinke mach tsu.
A Jingele wos hot schoyn ale Tseyndelech,
Muss noch di Mame singen "ay lyu lyu".
A Jingele wos hot schoyn ale Tseyndelech
Muss noch di Mame singen "ay lyu lyu",

A Jingele wos hot schoyn ale Tseyndelech
Un wet mit Mazel bald in Kheyder geyn.
Un lernen wet er Khumesh un Gemore,
Sol weynen wen di Mame wigt ihm ayn?
Un lernen wet er Khumesh un Gemore,
Sol weynen wen di Mame wigt ihm ayn?

A Jingele wos lernen wet Gemore,
Ot schteyt der Tate, kvelt un hert sich tsu.
A Jingele wos wakst a Talmid-Khokhem,
Lost gantse Nacht der Mamen nit tsu Ru?
A Jingele vos wakst a Talmid-Khokhem,
Lost gantse Nacht der Mamen nit tsu Ru?

A Jingele wos wakst a Talmid-Khochem,
Un a Geniter soycher oych tsuglaych.
A Jingele a kluger Khosn bokher,
Sol lign azoy nas, wi in a Taych?
A Jingele a kluger Khosn bocher,
Sol lign azoy nas, wi in a Taych?

Nu schlof sche mir, mayn kluger Khosn bocher,
Dervayl ligstu in Wigele bay mir.
S'wet kostn fil mi un Mame's Trern,
Bizvanen s'wet a Mentsch aroys fun dir!
S'wet kostn fil mi un Mame's Trern,
Bizvanen s'wet a Mentsch aroys fun dir!

Sleep, My Dear Jankele

Sleep now, my beautiful Jankele,
The little eyes, the little ones, close them.
A little one who already has all his teeth,
Must still sing "ay lyu lyu" to Mommy.
A little one who already has all his teeth
Must still sing "ay lyu lyu" to Mommy.

A little one who already has all his teeth
And will soon go to cheder with good luck.
And he will learn Torah and Gemara,
Should he cry when Mommy rocks him to sleep?
And he will learn Torah and Gemara,
Should he cry when Mommy rocks him to sleep?

A little one who will learn Gemara,
The father stands by, loves and listens.
A little one who grows into a Talmid-Khokhem,
Does he keep Mommy from sleeping all night?
A little one who grows into a Talmid-Khokhem,
Does he keep Mommy from sleeping all night?

A little one who grows into a Talmid-Khokhem,
And a good, kind man at the same time.
A little one, a clever, scholarly groom,
Should he lie so wet, like in a pond?
A little one, a clever, scholarly groom,
Should he lie so wet, like in a pond?

Now sleep, my clever, scholarly groom,
While you lie in the cradle with me.
It will cost me and Mommy's tears a lot,
Until a man comes out of you!
It will cost me and Mommy's tears a lot,
Until a man comes out of you!
