My baby is so tired tonight, 
She does not like the candle light, 
The little head will soon be pressed, 
Against her mama's loving breast, 
And mama's song will sound the best.

So bylo, bylo, 
little baby sleep, 
So bylo, bylo, 
God his watch will keep, 
Oh baby mine, 
how fondly I love you, 
Oh baby mine, 
a mother's love is true. 

The little birds have gone to rest, 
The mama bird sits by the nest, 
The little stars begin to shine, 
To light the sky for sleepy-time, 
And make it bright sweet child of mine. 

Refain

If I shield you from all care, 
And keep your face forever fair, 
As now I see it while you sleep, 
These eyes of mine no more would keep, 
This heart of mine its peace would keep.

Refain
