"Dormi Jesu" lyrics - JACKIE EVANCHO
Dormi, Jesu! Mater ridet
Quae tam dulcem somnum videt
Si non dormis, Mater plorat
Inter fila cantans orat
Dormi Jesu, blandule!
Blande, veni, somnule
Dormi Jesu, blandule!
Blande, veni, somnule
Dormi Jesu, blandule!
Blande, veni, somnule
Dormi Jesu, blandule!
Blande, veni, somnule
Dormi Jesu, blandule!
Blande, veni, somnule
Dormi Jesu, blandule!
Blande, veni, somnule
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Translation:
Sleep, Jesus! My cares beguiling:
Mother sits beside thee smiling
If thou sleep not, mother mourneth
Singing as her wheel she turneth
Sleep, Jesus, tenderly!
Come, soft slumber, balmily
Sleep, Jesus, tenderly!
Come, soft slumber, balmily
Sleep, Jesus, tenderly!
Come, soft slumber, balmily
Sleep, Jesus, tenderly!
Come, soft slumber, balmily
Sleep, Jesus, tenderly!
Come, soft slumber, balmily
Sleep, Jesus, tenderly!
Come, soft slumber, balmily!
