Ninna Nanna Lyrics English Translation by Neima Ezza
(Ninna na’, ninna eh)
(You can sleep now that I’m here)
(Now, ninna na’, ninna eh)
(Do not be afraid, there’s no monster)
Now, ninna na’, ninna eh
You can sleep now that I’m here
Now, ninna na’, ninna eh
Do not be afraid, there’s no monster
You can lullaby, you can hush
If you’ll be born a boy, or you’ll be my daughter
I’ll tell you fairy tales, family stories
Meeting your mother, our first outing
I was not very elegant, living a different life
She always smiled, so beautiful it seemed unreal
She fills me with questions, I say: “It doesn’t matter”
Don’t tell me: “See you tomorrow,” promise me: “Forever”
Sleep, my love, under the sun, but if it rains, I’ll be there, eh
The emotion in my heart, I can’t find it with words
Sleep, my love, under the sun, but if it rains, I’ll be there, eh
The emotion in my heart, I can’t find it with words
Ninna na’, ninna eh
You can sleep now that I’m here
Now, ninna na’, ninna eh
Do not be afraid, there’s no monster
Now, ninna na’, ninna eh
You can sleep now that I’m here
Now, ninna na’, ninna eh
Do not be afraid, there’s no monster
When there’s no daddy, you can hush
Hug mommy tight, and if you miss me, kiss her
Take her virtues, not my flaws
You’ll spend long nine months in her belly, a bit like being in prison
I’m out of my mind, blame it on the blocks
I wish you were a little like me, but with her eyes
You don’t choose your children, you can ask the grandparents
What have I gotten myself into, but, my love, now sleep
Sleep, my love, under the sun, but if it rains, I’ll be there, eh
The emotion in my heart, I can’t find it with words
Sleep, my love, under the sun, but if it rains, I’ll be there, eh
The emotion in my heart, I can’t find it with words
Ninna na’, ninna eh
You can sleep now that I’m here
Now, ninna na’, ninna eh
Do not be afraid, there’s no monster
Now, ninna na’, ninna eh
You can sleep now that I’m here
Now, ninna na’, ninna eh
Do not be afraid, there’s no monster
Ninna na’, ninna eh
You can sleep now that I’m here
Now, ninna na’, ninna eh
Do not be afraid, there’s no monster
Now, ninna na’, ninna eh
You can sleep now that I’m here
Now, ninna na’, ninna eh
Do not be afraid, there’s no monster
