עיניך כבר נעצמות

Tired from a whole day
כל העולם מחכה לך
Kol ha'olam mechakeh lach
The whole world awaits you
בתוך חלומות יפים
Betoch chalomot yafim
In beautiful dreams

Ababa, my little Ababa
בואי נישן יחד עכשיו

A gentle melody rises
לילה טוב, מתוקה שלי
Laila tov, metuka sheli
Good night, my sweet one
[Verse 2]
המנקו שקט ורך

Washington answers with a tune
הכל שקט, הכל שליו
Hakol sheket, hakol shalav
All is quiet, all is peaceful

[Bridge]
הכוכבים נוצצים בשמיים
Hakochavim notzetzim bashamayim
The stars twinkle in the sky
שומרים עלייך כל הלילה
Shomrim alayich kol halaila
Watching over you all night
את בטוחה בזרועותיי
At betucha bizro'otai
You are safe in my arms
[Chorus]
אבבה, אבבה קטנה שלי
Ababa, Ababa ktana sheli
Ababa, my little Ababa
בואי נישן מחר מתחיל יום חדש
Bo'i nishan machar matchil yom chadash
Let's sleep, tomorrow a new day begins
