LULAJZE JEZUNIU
(Polish Lullaby)

Lullaby, little pearl,
Dear baby Jesu,
Lullaby, little pearl,
Dear baby sleeping;
Lullaby little one,
Dear baby Jesu,
Mary is holding you,
Guarding and keeping.

Bring food for the little man,
Good things and pleasant;
Bring for the little man
Every sweet berry;
Into the garden go
Where all is pleasant;
Mary will comfort him
Keeping Him merry.

Bread for His little mouth
With golden butter -
Bread for his little mouth,
A loaf to feed Him -
Put in His cradle mow
Good bread and butter.
If he should wake from rest
Mary will heed Him.
