CHORUS:
Sleep, child;
child, sleep.
Sleep right now;
sleep right here.

Always laughing just to laugh,
today and onto tomorrow.
But sleep now, child;
sleep right here.

[CHORUS]

Roaming through their dreams,
what is each child learning?
Now, if you were dreaming,
there you'd find many friends.

[CHORUS]

Every person is looking out
for you--yes, you!
In the light of the pale morning sky,
we will once again wake you.

[CHORUS]

Even though you'll be far away,
your parent will still remember you.
Let me sing you a song
so that you might return.

[CHORUS]

Every child plays
in those well-known stories.
But, my child, close your eyes now,
making yourself cheerful.

[CHORUS]

Now don't wake up,
now keep sleeping.
May you keep dreaming,
discovering secret treasures.
