Gue gue solingaie, balliez chimin la. (repeat) m'a dis li, oui,
M'a dis li. calbass' li connain parler. (repeat)

Sleep, sleep, don't you weep. dry your tears a-while. dream,
Dream, then you'll hear the singing crocodile.

Chorus:
Oh, dreaming, we'll go dreaming. hush, now, baby, don't you cry.

Sail, sail, pretty babe, while the moon is low. through bright
Bayou night, the dreamboats drifting slow.

(chorus)
