soja re, soja mere laal soja
nindiya ki nagri me kho ja
mere laal soja
soja re, soja mere laal soja

soya hai gagan soya hai pawan
soya hai gagan soya hai pawan
tu jiye to jau nirdhan ke dhan, soja
soja re, soja mere laal soja

na koi resham jhul jhulaye
na koi pankha dulaye
soja kanhiya tujhko teri
maiya ki mamta sulaye
soja re, soja mere laal soja

tu jo soye sang sang tere
soyenge dukhde hamare
apne dulare ke mohan mukhde pe
waru mai naho nakh taare
soja re, soja mere laal soja

Sleep now, sleep, my darling, sleep,
Lost within the dream-city's keep,
My darling, sleep,
Sleep now, sleep, my darling, sleep.

The heavens slumber, the breezes hush,
The heavens slumber, the breezes hush,
Your life, a wealth to the penniless,
sleep now,
Sleep now, sleep, my darling, sleep.

No silken cradle softly sways,
No fan to lull you through the days,
Sleep, Krishna, sleep, your mother's grace
Will sing you to a peaceful place,
Sleep now, sleep, my darling, sleep.

If you should sleep, then with you, dear,
Our sorrows also disappear,
Upon your face, my love, so fair,
I’d give my all, without a care,
Sleep now, sleep, my darling, sleep.
