The badger sleeps tonight

In the forest, the mighty forest

The badger sleeps tonight

Thula [Hush]

Near the abbey, the peaceful abbey

The badger sleeps tonight

Near the village, the peaceful village The badger sleeps tonight

Hush, my darling, don't fear, my darling The badger sleeps tonight

Hush, my darling, don't fear, my darling The badger sleeps tonigh

(Chorus) Ixesha lifikile [Time has come] Lala [Sleep] Lala kahle [Sleep well]

Near the abbey, the peaceful abbey

The badger sleeps tonight

Near the village, the peaceful village

The badger sleeps tonight (Chorus)

My little darling

Don't fear, my little darling My little darling

Don't fear, my little darling
