(English)
Sleep, sleep, walnut's flower,
Your father went to the camp.
Sleep, sleep, pistachio's flower,
Your father went to hear a story.
Sleep, sleep, hazel-nut's flower,
Your father went near the box.

Lala lala gole gerdoo
Lala lala gole gerdoo
Babat rafte tooye ordoo
Lala lala gole peste
Babat rafte sare qesse
Lala lala gole fandoq
Babat rafte sare sandouq.
