Ngicela ungasusi ukukhanya kwami kwelanga
5. 'Brahms' Lullaby'
Lullaby nobusuku obuhle, nama roses aqinile
Ngeminduze i-o'er spread iwumbhede wengane
Lala manje uphumule, ubuthongo bakho bubusiswe
Lullaby nobusuku obuhle, injabulo kamama wakho
Izingelosi ezikhanyayo eceleni kwesithandwa sami hlala
Bazokulinda ekuphumuleni, uzovuka esifubeni sami
Ziyakulinda ekuphumuleni, uzovuka esifubeni sami

Kukhona izwe engizwile ngalo
Kwake kwathi ukucula
Ndawana thize phezu kothingo
Isibhakabhaka siluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka
Namaphupho olokotha ukuwaphupha
Impela ziyafezeka
Ngelinye ilanga ngiyofisa inkanyezi
Futhi uvuke lapho amafu akude
Ngemva kwami
Lapho izinkinga zincibilika njengamathonsi kalamula
Kude ngenhla kukashimula
Yilapho ozongithola khona
Ndawana thize phezu kothingo
Izinyoni eziluhlaza ziyandiza
Izinyoni zindiza phezu kothingo
Kungani-ke, oh kungani ngingakwazi?
Uma kundiza ama-bluebirds amancane ajabule
Ngale kothingo
Kungani, oh kungani ngingakwazi?

Hush-a-bye, ungakhali,
Lala mntanami
Lapho uvuka, uzoba nakho
Wonke amahhashi amancane amahle
Okumnyama namatheku, ama-dapples kanye nezimpunga
Lala wena ngane encane
Hush-a-bye, ungakhali,
Hamba uyolala mntanami
Lapho uvuka, uzoba nakho
Wonke amahhashi amancane amahle
Le phansi laphaya, ezansi ethafeni,
Kukhona iwundlu elincane elimpofu
Izinyosi nezimvemvane zikhetha emehlweni ayo,
Wakhalela umama wakhe bandla
Hush-a-bye, ungakhali,
Hamba uyolala mntanami.
Lapho uvuka, uzoba nakho
Wonke amahhashi amancane amahle

ngendlela yakhe enhle yase-Ireland
Futhi nginganikeza umhlaba uma ekwazi ukucula

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, thula manje, ungakhali!
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
I-Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, leyo ingoma yesi-Irish
