TEXT
Lullay, dear Jesus, my heart’s only treasure;
Lullay, my darling, my life’s sweetest pleasure.
Lullay, dear Jesus, oh lullay, stop grieving,
Mother will comfort thee, thy pain relieving.
Shut now thine eyelids, so weary from weeping;
I’ll cool thy fevered lips while thou art sleeping.
Lullay, dear Jesus, oh lullay, stop grieving,
Mother will comfort thee, thy pain relieving.
‘Lulajże, Jezuniu’, 17th-century Polish, trans. Jan Śliwiński.
Music by Arnold Bax (Banks Publications).
