Basque Lullaby

Lullaby, twilight is spreading

Silver wings, over the sky

Fairy elves are softly treading

Folding buds as they pass by

Refrain

Lullaby, Whisper and sigh

Lullaby, Lullaby

Lullaby, daytime is weary

Tired of work, tired of play

Sleep my baby, sleep my dearie

Now you are as tired as they

Refrain

Lullaby, Whisper and sigh

Lullaby, Lullaby

Lullaby, deep in clover

Drones the bee, softly to rest

Close, white lids, your dear eyes over

Mother's arms shall be your rest

Refrain

Lullaby, Whisper and sigh

Lullaby, Lullaby
