Washu's Lullaby
Tenchi Muyo OVA "Here Comes Baby!"
English Lyrics by Scottie Haskell
April roses, tiny sparrows,
Cornets bright and new,
All belong together,
With the myst'ry that is you.
When I see your little face,
I hear a song from long ago.
I think you know,
The many secrets I've forgotten!
Generations through the ages,
Joined as one somehow,
Leading to the miracle,
That I am holding now.
From the sky and from the sea,
Upon a breeze you came to me,
You seem to see,
A greater universe than I do!
Sleep my baby, sleep my baby,
Dream of somewhere far away,
Do you remember still,
How I hope you always will,
Keep the mem'ry of the day,
The world was born.
When you wake up I'll be waiting,
Eager for your smile.
You've had quite a journey, Darling,
You should rest a while.
When you cry we still rejoice,
To hear your voice - oh yes, it's true,
My sweet Washu,
Please understand how much we love you.
Sleep my baby, sleep my baby,
Later on perhaps you'll tell,
The wondrous things you've seen.
More miraculous than dreams.
Tell me all about the day,
The world was born.
(Instrumental)
Sleep my baby, sleep my baby,
Dream of somewhere far away.
Do you remember still,
How I hope you always will.
Keep the mem'ry of the day,
The world was born!
