Original text and translations

Original text
Dormi, Jesu, mater ridet,
Quaetam dulcem somnum vivi
Dormi, Jesu, blandule.

Si non dormis, mater plorat,
Inter fila cantans orat,
blande, veni, somnule.

English translation
Sleep sweet babe!
My cares beguiling:
Mother sits beside thee smiling;
Sleep my darling, tenderly.

If thou sleep not,
mother mourneth,
Singing as her wheel she turneth,
come, soft slumber, lullaby.
Translated by Samuel Coleridge
