Sweet Lullaby (Baegu, Solomon Islands)

Sasi sasi’e ko ta ta’aro
Ko hai he hange bora’e kiko liono
Itam wa orena korai lo ‘aila
Elai tandera sa’e tamate’o ‘ae

Sasi sasi’e ko ta ta’aro
Ko hai he hange bora’e kiko liono
Tamatau wa ne’i nita se’a wa ‘ula
Elai tandera sa’e tamate’o ‘ae

Little child, little child be calm
Even though you still weep
Your father has left us
Protect the elderly, protect the orphan.

Little child, little child be calm
Even though you still weep
Your father has gone to the afterlife
Protect the elderly, protect the orphan.
