“Es wird scho glei dumpa” is originally an old Tyrolean lullaby that was first published in a four-part setting with accompaniment by Franz Friedrich Kohl and Josef Reiter in the collection of Echte Tiroler Lieder (Leipzig 1913).
1. It’s going to be dumpa, it’s already getting night,
so I’ll come to you, my savior, keep watch.
Will singa a Liadl the darling, the kloan,
you don’t like to sleep, I only hear you somewhere.
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Sleep sweetly, dear child!
2. Forget now, o children, your grief, your burden,
that you have to suffer in the stable on the hoad.
The angels adorn your bed,
wouldn’t want to be nicer in the king’s house.
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Sleep sweetly, you love child.
3. Yes, children, you are so beautiful in the crèche,
befits me, I can never leave you there.
I wish you the sweetest Ruah from the bottom of my heart, the angels
from heaven, they cover you.
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Sleep sweetly, you beautiful child.
