Translation possibly by Meinrad Lienert (1865 - 1933)

Inukerli
Language: Swiss German (Schwizerdütsch) 
Doli doli, Chindli!
Dusse goht äs Windli.
Trait äs Glöggli i dr Hand,
Am'ne wysse Näbelband,
Lüted's überei dur's Land.
Dili dili däli däli sum sum sum!
Dili dili däli däli sum sum sum!

Doli doli, Chindli!
Dusse goht äs Windli;
Goht am Chilehof1 verby,
Schlöiff red all arm Seele i,
Myni blöiss muess wachber sy.
Dili dili däli däli sum sum sum!
Dili dili däli däli sum sum sum!

Doli doli, Chindli!
Dusse goht äs Windli;
Hät im Schybli äs Pünggli g'gä,
Sait äs Angeli: Ich bi's dä!
Hilf dr 's Chindli wiegele.
Dili dili däli däli sum sum sum!
Dili dili däli däli sum sum sum!

Doli doli Kindlein!
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Swiss German (Schwizerdütsch) 
Doli doli Kindlein!
Draußen weht ein Windlein.
Trägt ein Glöckchen in der Hand,
hängt am weißen Nebelband;
läutet's überall durchs Land.
Dili dili däli däli sum sum sum.
Dili dili däli däli sum sum sum.

Doli doli Kindlein!
Draußen weht ein Windlein.
Weht vorbei am Totenhain;
lullt die armen Seelen ein.
Wach muß nur die meine sein.
Dili dili däli däli sum sum sum.
Dili dili däli däli sum sum sum.

Doli doli Kindlein!
Draußen weht ein Windlein.
Öffnet leis die Kammertür.
Sagt ein Englein: Ich bin hier,
helf das Kindlein wiegen dir!
Dili dili däli däli sum sum sum.
Dili dili däli däli sum sum sum.
