Oh,daddy made up this lullaby
Just to sing it to you.
Soon as you learn this lullaby
You can sing it to your dolly,too.

Tarra,ta-larra,ta-lar
Play peek-a-boo with a star.
Hushabye baby,
When shadows creep,
Dreamland is not very far.

Tarra,ta-larra,ta-lar
Just like the angel you are.
Rockabye baby now you're asleep.
Tarra,ta-larra,ta-lar,
Tarra,ta-larra,ta-lar.

Vieni sul mar'
Vieni a vogar'.
Sentir'i le braccia,
Del tu' marinar'!

Tarra,ta-larra,ta-lar
Just like the angel you are.
Rockabye baby now you're asleep
Tarra,ta-larra,ta-lar,
Tarra,ta-larra,ta-lar.
Mmm,mmm,mmm,
Go to sleep.


Note : The Italian part of the song is from 
a traditional Italian folk song "Vieni Sul Mar'".
