I discovered this beautiful traditional Italian carol a couple of days ago. The words refer to Mary singing to Baby Jesus. It is unusual in that the tune for the refrain is in a different time signature and at a different tempo.

SLEEP, O SLEEP, MY LOVELY CHILD

Sleep, o sleep, my lovely Child,
King divine, King divine.
Close your eyes and sweetly slumber,
King divine, King divine.
Refrain:
Fa la la la, Fa la la la la, Fa la la la,
Fa la, Fa la, Fa la, Fa la.

O my sweet treasure, do not weep!
Sweetly sleep, sweetly sleep,
Close your eyes my Son, my dear one.
Sweetly sleep, sweetly sleep,
Close your eyes, my Son, my dear one.
Refrain
