« Nenne Nenne » (ねんね、ねんね)
作詞作曲:Jacqui 七七
ねんね
泣かないで
He's been asleep for quite a while
His cheek against my chest
His little hand won't leave my sleeve
Not even in his rest
He'll wake when thunder shakes the sky
He's frightened by the rain
So if he starts to cry tonight
Please sing this song again
Take him gently from my arms
There's one thing I must ask
Hold my child, just a little while
Keep him warm and let him sleep
ねんね、ねんね
Hold my child, stay beside him through the night
If he reaches out for me
Don't give him back tonight
When he takes his first few steps
Be there to catch his fall
And when he learns to say my name
Please answer when he calls
If he should ask about his mother
Tell him the songs I sang
And when he cries for me at night
Please hold his little hand
Hold my child, just a little while
Keep him warm and let him sleep
ねんね、ねんね
Hold my child, stay beside him through the night
If he reaches out for me
Don't give him back tonight
The river keeps on running
My sleeves are cold and wet
I hear the morning bells again
And still, I hear him cry
Hold my child, longer than a little while
Teach him how to laugh and sing
ねんね、ねんね
Hold my child, give him all the years I can't
If he reaches out for me
どうか返さないで
この子をお願い
ねんね、ねんね
