NUMI NUMI
SLEEP, SLEEP
(SHIR ERES) (LULLABY)
   

Numi, numi yaldati,
Numi, numi, nim.
Numi, numi k'tanati,*
Numi, numi, nim.

Aba halach la'avoda -
Halach, halach Aba.
Yashuv im tzeit halevana -
Yavi lach matana!

Numi, numi...

Aba halach el hakramim -
Halach, halach Aba.
Yashuv im tzeit ha cochavim -
Yavi lach anavim!

Numi, numi...

Aba halach el hapardes -
Halach, halach Aba.
Yashuv ba'erev im haruach -
Yavi, yavi tapuach!

Numi, numi...

Aba halach el hasadeh -
Halach, halach Aba.
Yashuv ba'erev im tz'lalim -
Yavi lach shibolim!

Sleep, sleep, my little girl.
Sleep, sleep.
Sleep, sleep, my little one,
Sleep, sleep.

Daddy's gone to work -
He went, Daddy went.
He'll return when the moon comes out -
He'll bring you a present!

Sleep, sleep...

Daddy went to the vineyards -
He went, Daddy went.
He'll return when the stars come out -
He'll bring you grapes!

Sleep, sleep...

Daddy went to the orchard -
He went, Daddy went.
He'll return in the evening with the wind -
He'll bring an apple!

Sleep, sleep...

Daddy went to the field -
He went, Daddy went.
He'll come back in the evening with the shadows -
He'll bring you ears of grain!
