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!

Lullaby
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
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!
