Khmer Lullaby

O wild rooster

Are you cawing, cawing

Near our hut?

Hey Krishna. O Krishna

Hey Krishna, dearest child, don’t you cry

Mother’s here, mother’s here, singing you to sleep.

O cicada

Are you singing, singing  

Near our hut?

Hey Krishna. O Krishna

Hey Krishna, dearest child, don’t you cry

Mother’s here, mother’s here, singing you to sleep.

O flutist

Are you playing, playing

Near our hut?

Hey Krishna. O Krishna

Hey Krishna, dearest child, don’t you cry

Mother’s here, mother’s here, singing you to sleep.
