Shlof zhe mir shoyn, Yankele mayn sheyner!
Di eygelekh di shvartsinke, makh tsu!
yingele vos hot shoyn ale tseyndlekh
Muz nokh di mame zingen ayliuliu!

yingele vos hot shoyn ale tseyndlekh
Un vet mit mazl bald in kheyder geyn
Un lernen vet er khumesh un gemore
Zol veynen ven di mame vigt im ayn!

yingele vos lernt vet gemore
Or shteyt der tate, kvelt un hert im tsu
yingele vos vakst a talmid khokhem
Lozt gantse nekht di mame nisht [bad word] 

yingele vos vakst a talmid kokhem
Un a geniter soykher oykh tsu glaych
yingele, a kluger khosn bokher
Zol lign azoy nas vi in taykh!

Nu shlof zhe mir, mayn kluger khosn bokher
Dervayl ligstu in vigele bay mir!
S'vet kostn nokh fil mames trern
Bit vanen s'vet mentsh aroys fun dir!

Shlof zhe mir shoyn...

На английском:

Go to sleep, Yankele, my little one!
Close your little dark eyes!
little boy who's got all his teeth,
Yet his mother still has to sing "ayluli" to him!

little boy who's got all his teeth,
And with some luck will soon go to school,
And he'll study the Bible and the Talmud,
Yet he cries when his mother rocks him to sleep!

young boy who's already learning the Talmud,
Here stands his father full of pride,
young boy who's growing up to be a man of learning,
Shouldn't he let his mother rest at night?

young boy growing up to be a man of learning,
And a clever businessman,
young boy, already a handsome bridegroom
And yet he's as wet as a stream!

Go to sleep now, my handsome bridgeroom,
For now, lie near me in the cot.
Many tears will mother shed
Before you [bad word] a man!

Go to sleep...
