Lyrics - Pennsylvania German
(Pennsylvania German folk song)
Schlof, Bobbli schlof!
Der Vader hiet die Schof.
Die Mudder hiet die Lemmerchen
In dem dunklen Kemmerchen
Schlof, Bobbli schlof!
English Translation - Sleep Baby Sleep
Sleep, baby sleep!
Father is tending the sheep.
Mother is tending the little lambs
In the dark little room.
Sleep, baby sleep!
