ねんねんころりよ おころりよ
Hushabye, Hushabye!
坊やはよい子だ ねんねしな
My good Baby, Sleep!
坊やのお守りは どこへ行った
Where did my boy's baby-sitter go?
あの山こえて 里へ行った
Beyond that mountain, back to her home.
里の土産に 何もらった
As a souvenir from her home, what did you get?
でんでん太鼓に 笙の笛
A toy drum and a shō flute.
坊やはよい子だ ねんねしな
My good Baby, Sleep!
