aaja ri nindiya aaja mero lala dekhe bat
sone ke hai paaye jaaki rupay ki hai khata
aaja ri nindiya aaja mero lala dekhe bat
sone ke hai paaye jaaki rupay ki hai khaat
laal bichhona hai resham ko takiya jhalardaar
char bahu aave babua ki do gori do kari
do khilave, do jhulave le sone ki thali

mero lala dekhe bat sone ke hai paaye jaaki
laal bichhona hai resham ko takiya jhalardaar
char bahu aave babua ki do gori do kari
do khilave, do jhulave le sone ki thali
do khilave, do jhulave le sone ki thali
aaja ri nindiya aaja

Come, O Sleep, my lullaby, my darling waits for thee,
Upon a bed of gold, its pillars gleam for he.
Come, O Sleep, my lullaby, my darling waits the same,
Upon a bed of gold, where silver whispers his name.

A crimson spread of silk, a pillow fringed with grace,
Four brides attend my babe, two fair, two with a darker face.
Two feed him dreams of light, two gently rock and sway,
Offering him a golden bowl to greet the break of day.

My darling waits the same, upon a bed of gold,
A crimson spread of silk, a story to be told.
Four brides attend my babe, two fair, two with a darker hue,
Two feed him dreams of light, two gently see him through.
Two feed him dreams of light, two rock him in the gold,
Come, O Sleep, my lullaby, let dreams unfold.
