Original text and translations
Latin text
Dormi, Jesu, mater ridet,
Quae tam dulcem somnum videt
Dormi, Jesu, blandule.
Si non dormis, mater plorat,
Inter fila cantans orat,
blande, veni, somnule.
English translation
by Samuel Coleridge
Sleep sweet babe!
My cares beguiling:
Mother sits beside thee smiling;
Sleep my darling, tenderly.
If thou sleep not,
mother mourneth,
Singing as her wheel she turneth,
come, soft slumber, lullaby.
