Goodnight, My Child
Be calm, my darling, be settled
I'm not going to hurt you at all
Rest your eyes, rest your head
Let the troubles of the black world fall
I love you, my darling, be rested
I'll stroke your flowing hair
You know I sing this lullaby
To show you that I care
Hush, my darling, be silent
Listen to the song of my heart
The undying love I have for you
shall never be broken apart
Be brave, my darling, be comforted
there is no weakness in strength
Comfort is the nicest thing to give
So I bestow it upon you at any length
Be calm, my darling, I love you
I've told you this once before
Now that you're asleep, my dear
I'll tiptoe out and close the door
