Aj-lju-lju
(Yiddish Lullaby)
Enjoy
the evening and be happy,
while
I sit beside your baby's cradle.
Lullaby,
hush-a-bye -
Your
Mummy has gone out in the alley.
Lullaby,
sleep, my child
–
Your
Mummy will come
back soon.
Enjoy
the evening ... –
Your
Mummy's gone down the alley to earn money.
Lullaby,
hush-a-bye
– ...
Other
girls go dancing and springing,
and
I have to cradle the child and sing:
"Aj-lju-lju,
sha-sha-sha"
– ...
Other
girls nibble sweets,
and
I must wash the baby's swaddling-clothes.
"Aj-lju-lju,
sha-sha-sha"
– ...
(Trad)
