Way up in the sky,
The little birds fly;
Way down in their nests,
The little birdies rest.
With a wing on their left,
And a wing on their right,
The little birdies sleep
All through the night.
Shhhh. They're sleeping.
Shhhh. They're sleeping.
When the bright sun comes up,
And the dew falls away,
"Asalaamu alaikoum! Asalaamu alaikoum!"
(May peace be with you)
The little birdies say.
