| Sleep my innocent, let angels watch you as you lay
|
| And while in slumber harm will never come your way
|
| On your journey may you dream away to freedom
|
| So rest until the dawn when angels are reborn
|
| Ley a-lua ley, a-lua ley-o
|
| Ley a-lua ley a-lua ley
|
| Knowing eyes reflecting good in all they may behold
|
| Should rest that they allow their beauty to unfold
|
| Harrowed mind that knows the inhumanities of mankind
|
| May rest until the dawn when Angels are reborn
|
| Ley a-lua ly, a-lua ley-o
|
| Ley a-lua ley a-lua ly
|
| Veh az ha Elohim yishmor aleynu (then God will watch over us)
|
| And while in slumber harm will never come your way
|
| Ley a-lua ley, a-lua ley-o
|
| Ley a-lua ley a-lua ley
|
