A Baby Cradle

Lyrics and Music by Kozaburo Hirai
Translation by Chikako Nakamura
& Saya L. Johnson

Rocking, rocking in the cradle
Sleep quietly, little one
Gently blows the breeze
Onto arms so pure and white

Rocking, rocking in the cradle
Sleep quietly, little one
The breeze wakes Baby from a dream
And wafts across eyes deep and black
