Nini buyo baby
Tod shared this song with the note: "I am a 74 year old Anglo Indian. My mother sang a version of this to me and my siblings. I have just taught it to my daughter who has a new baby."
Nini buyo baby
Sleep Buyo Baby
Lullaby
Lullaby
(Hindi)
(English)
Nini buyo baby
Makhan roti chini
Lal palang tout giah
Chota baby gir giah
Sleep buyo baby
Butter, bread and sugar
Sleeping on a red bed
Little baby sleeps.

The translation is loose. Please email me any suggestions for improving it and for corrections with the spelling. We'd also love to add the original Hindi text. Thanks in advance! -Mama Lisa
