    Can Anyone Help with a Polish Lullaby that Translates as “Sleep My Baby Doll”?

    I am looking for a Polish lullaby my mother used to sing…

    Śpij laleczko moja mała, czas na ciebie już, ja cię będę kołysała, a ty oczka zmruz…

    This is all I remember.

    If anyone has all the words, I would be very grateful.

    A rough English translation of the above text is: Sleep my little baby doll, it is the time for you now, I will, I will rock, and you close your eyes.

    This is the tune to the Polish Lullaby.

    If anyone can help Therese with the original text of the lullaby and/or an English translation, please let us know in the comments below.

    Thanks!

    UPDATE:

    Here’s the text of a slightly different version of the lullaby, thanks to Agnieszka Magnucka:

    ŚPIJ LALECZKO

    Pod pierzyną czarnej nocy
    W blasku srebrnych gwiazd
    Gwiżdże swoje kołysanki
    Rozśpiewany wiatr.

    Księżyc wplata w warkoczyki
    Kolorowe sny
    Śpij laleczko moja mała
    Śpij córeczko, śpij.

    W płatkach herbacianej róży
    Calineczka śpi
    Nawet przemęczony świerszczyk
    Zasnął w trakcie gry.

    Wszystkie małe grzeczne dzieci
    Już od dawna śpią
    Dobra wróżka opowiada
    Bajkę którą śnią.

    Księżyc wplata w warkoczyki
    Kolorowe sny
    Śpij laleczko moja mała
    Śpij córeczko, śpij.

    Agnieszka Magnucka and I came up with this English translation…

    SLEEP MY BABY DOLL

    Under the blanket of dark night
    In the glimmer of silver stars
    It is whistling its lullabies…
    - Singing wind.

    The Moon is braiding in plaits
    Colorful dreams
    Sleep my baby doll
    Sleep my daughter, sleep.

    Between the tea rose* leaves
    Thumbelina is sleeping
    Also some overtired little cricket
    Fell asleep while playing.

    All the good little children
    Are sleeping for so long
    The good fairy is telling that story
    They are dreaming of.

    The moon is braiding in plaits
    Colorful dreams
    Sleep my baby doll
    Sleep my daughter, sleep.

    *Tea Rose is called Herbaciana which is a rose with peachy/yellow leaves that sometimes have a little pink or cream in them.

    *****

    Enjoy!

    Mama Lisa

    PS Thanks so much for your help Agnieszka!
