Lullaby

Victor Massé

Little child, in you I find,

darling child, in you combine

his love, my joy

and all the hope that God has granted us.

Sleep, my child, beside your mother.

And when your father comes back tonight,

I hope he will

kiss us both.

Sleep! sleep! beside your mother.

Little child, whose mouth is quiet,

whose eyes are so lovely and sweet,

I commend you to the Prophet's goodness.

Fatima will pray for us.

Sleep, my child, beside your mother.
