Nu i ro slumra in

"Nu i ro slumra in i bädden så fin" is the Swedish version of Brahms' Lullaby.

Nu i ro slumra in

Lullaby

(Swedish)

Nu i ro, slumra in,
i bädden så fin
som blomman på äng,
i en gungande säng
och guds änglar de små
breda vingarna ut
och kring barnet de stå
tills dess natten är slut

Oh, So Cozy

Lullaby

(English)

Oh, so cozy, go to sleep,
In your lovely bed,
As a flower in the meadow
In a rocking bed,
And the small angels of God
Spread their wings out,
And around the child they stand
Until the night is over.

Oh, so cozy, go to sleep,
In your lovely bed,
As a flower in the meadow
In a rocking bed,
And the small angels of God
Spread their wings out,
And around the child they stand
Until the night is over.
