[Verse 1]
Päivä nukahtaa, pimenee
The day falls asleep, it darkens
Maailma hiljenee, odottaa
The world quiets down, waits
Peiton alla uni odottaa
Under the blanket, sleep awaits
[Chorus]
Nuku, nuku, pieni untuvainen
Sleep, sleep, little downy one
Unelmoi, olet mun aarteeni
Dream, you are my treasure
Päivän leikit jääköön taa
Let the day's games stay behind
Hipsuttele unimaahan vaanSilmJokainen henkäys on laulu mHipsuttele unimaahan vaan
Just tiptoe into dreamlandEvery breath is a song to meJust tiptoe into dreamland
[Bridge]
Pieni käsi, pieni suu
Little hand, little mouth
Rauhallinen hengitys, niin totta
Peaceful breathing, so true
[Chorus]
Nuku, nuku, pieni untuvainen
Sleep, sleep, little downy one
Unelmoi, olet mun aarteeni
Dream, you are my treasure
Päivän leikit jääköön taa
Let the day's games stay behind
Hipsuttele unimaahan vaan
Just tiptoe into dreamland
