Eia popeia, schlaf' ein! Musst dein rosiges [Füsslein]1 stecken Unter die Decken; Füsslein ist noch so klein; Kann noch nicht gehen allein. Eia popeia, schlaf' ein! Gehen lernt mein kleiner Geselle Wie schnelle! wie schnelle! O Gott im Himmel mein, Was [wird]2 seine Strasse wohl sein!

Eia popeia, go to sleep! You must put your rosy little foot Under the blanket; The dear foot is still so small; Cannot walk by itself yet. Eia popeia, go to sleep! My little comrade shall learn to walk So quickly! so quickly! Oh, my God in Heaven, What [shall]1 his pathway be!
