Spoliansky: Congo Lullaby (from the 1935 Zoltán Korda's Film "Sanders of the River") - Paul Robeson

My little, black dove

Curled up in your nest of love

The moon is a charm

To keep you from harm

Asleep at my breast

The stars are alight

To watch over you at night

The river of sleep

Flows gentle and deep

To rock you to rest

So sleep, little one

'Til darkness is by Sleep 'til the sun

Rises up in the sky

My little, black dove

Curled up in your nest of love

And go to your rest

Asleep at my breat

My little, black dove
