Lullaby
(English)

Nini baba nini
Mackhan roti cheene,
Mackhan roti hoa gia,
Soja Baba Soja,
Mera baba soja,
Ninnie Nina baba so gaya, gaya.

Sleep baby sleep,
Butter, bread and sugar,
Butter and bread are finished
Sleep Baby sleep,
My baby sleep
Little baby has gone to sleep.

Notes

In some versions "mackhan" and "roti" (i.e. butter and bread) are in reversed order.
