Yaśodā’s Lullaby

(cooo, mmm-mmm)

Sleep my little Kanha,

close your eyes of blue

Underneath the canopy of night

Mother rocks your cradle,

singing soft to you

Wrapped in velvet threads of silver light (shhh,

mmm)

As you smile in your sleep,

a wonder unfolds A secret this tiny baby face holds

Oh, creator of the cosmos,

resting in my arms Divine light of the world,

keeping us from harm

You are the supreme lord,

yet my baby so sweet

I bow to your tiny,

lotus-blossom feet (ahhh)

Whole worlds spin inside your tiny open mouth

Stars and rivers dancing in your breath

Yet you cry for butter,

crawling on the ground

Conquering all fear of life and death

Oh, creator of the cosmos,

resting in my arms Divine light of the world,

keeping us from harm

You are the supreme lord,

yet my baby so sweet

I bow to your tiny,

lotus-blossom feet (hare krishna,

hare)

Sleep sweet baby, sleep now (mmm-mmm)
