Баю, баю, мил внучёночек, Ты спи, усни, усни, крестьянский сын. Баю, баю. Допреж деды не видали беды, беда пришла, да беду привела с напастями, да с пропастями, с правежами, беда всё с побоями! Баю, баю, мил внучёночек, Ты сын, усни, усни, крестьянский сын. Изживем беду за работушкой, за немилой, чужой, непокладною, вековечною, злою, страдною, злою, страдною. Баю, баю, спи, усни поколь изживем беду, изживем беду, горе минется поколь Бог простит, царь срамится. Баю, баю, баю! Белым тельцем лежишь в люлечке, твоя душенька в небесах летит, твой тихий сон сам Господь хранит. По бокам стоят светлы ангелы, тоят ангелы!

Suja, suja lieve kleinzoon! Ga maar slapen, boerenzoon! Suja, suja, Toen je grootvader nog leefde kenden we geen ellende, De ellende kwam en bracht zijn rampen mee, Aldus moesten we strijden. Suja, suja lieve kleinzoon! Ga maar slapen boerenzoon. Wij zullen de ellende wel overleven door hard te werken, Met je blanke lijfje lig je in je wiegje, Je zieltje is de hemel ingevlogen. Je stille slaap wordt door God zelf bewaakt en langs de kant staan er engeltjes als lichtjes.
