Oh, little human boy…
You’ve wandered into this forest,
But you’re unable to see,
These giant wings.
Oh, those round little cheeks
That don’t know a thing…
Sleep now, sleep!
Come on down by the quiet waterside.
Your dreams
Will be carried upon a dragon’s back
To disappear beyond the mountains.
Many, many children
Sleep side-by-side;
When I count to seven,
They sleep happily together.
Oh, those tiny eyes
That can’t see a thing…
Sleep now, sleep!
Come on down by the swaying brush.
Your dreams
Will go searching for their mother,
Returning to a place beyond the sky.
Carried upon a dragon’s back,
They’ll disappear beyond the mountains.
