Westerna Hayley - Nemunoki no komoriuta (合歓の木の子守歌)

Nen-ne no nemu-no-ki nemuri no ki

ねんねの　合歓の木　眠りの木
ねんね　の　ねむのき　ねむりのき

Sotto yusutta sono eda ni

そっと　揺すった　その　枝に
そっと　ゆすった　その　えだに

To-oi mukashi no yo no shirabe

遠い　昔　の　夜　の　しらべ
とおい　むかし　の　よ　の　しらべ

Nenne no nemu-no-ki komori-uta

ねんね　の　合歓の木　子守歌
ねんね　の　ねむのき　こもりうた
~ 

Usu-kurenai no hana no saku

薄紅　の　花　の　咲く
うすくれない　の　はな　の　さく

Nemu no kokage de futo ki-ita

ねむの　木陰　で　ふと　聞いた
ねむ　の　こかげ　で　ふと　きいた

Chiisana sasayaki nemu no koe

小さな　囁き　ねむ　の　声
ちいさな　ささやき　ねむ　の　こえ

Nen-ne nen-ne to utatteta

ねんね　ねんね　と　歌ってた
ねんね　ねんね　と　うたってた
~

Furusato no yo no nemu-no-ki wa

故郷　の　夜　の　合歓の木　は
ふらさと　の　よ　の　ねむのき　は

Kyou mo utatte iru de-sho-ka

今日　も　歌って　いる　でしょか
きょう　も　うたって　いる　でしょか

Ano hi no yoru no sasayaki wo

あの日　の　夜　の　囁き　を
あのひ　の　よる　の　ささやき　を

Nemu-no-ki nen-ne no ki komori-uta

合歓の木　ねんねの木　子守歌
ねむのき　ねんねのき　こもりうた

Translated version:
Sleepy Silk Tree, Sleepy wood
Slowly swayed that branch
Melody of the long ago night
Sleepy Silk Tree Lullaby

Almost red Sakura blooms
Suddenly listened by sleepy tree shadows
Small whispering, sleepy voice
Sleep, Sleep as I Sung

Silk Tree's hometown night
Should I still be singing today?
Whisper of one night
Silk Tree, sleepy wood lullby

PS: I accidentally found this lovely song on YouTube and decide to post up the lyrics - Japanese wordings here (top row is Kanji/Hiragana while the bottom row is just Hiragana alone). I can only find the Romanji version of this.
This Lullaby is written by Empress Michiko of Japan.
I try to translate to the best of my effort as some of the Kanji have multiple meanings. Should my meaning by wrong, so feel free to contact me so that I can amend the meanings.
