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.
