Eia popeia, schlaf' ein!
Musst dein rosiges Füsslein 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 mag 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 might his pathway be!
