Nen-nen Korori (ねんねんころり)

Nen-nen Korori

I think that the most well-known traditional lullaby in Japan is 'Edo Komoriuta' (江戸子守唄 - "Edo Lullaby").

The lyrics are as follows:

'Nen-nen kororiyo okororiyo bōya wa yoiko da nen-ne shina' (ねんねんころりよ おころりよ ぼうやはよいこだ ねんねしな).

Here, 'Nen-nen/nen-ne' (ねんねん/ねんね) means "sleep," 'korori' (ころり) is an onomatopoeia expressing that something rolls, 'bōya' (ぼうや) means "boy," and 'yoiko' (よいこ) means "good child."

That is to say, this lullaby means "sleep, roll, roll (lie down), you are good boy, so sleep."

If you are interested in the melody of this lullaby, please check it on YouTube.

ねんねんころり

日本で最もよく知られた伝統的な子守唄は、「江戸子守唄」だと思います。

その歌詞は次のようなものです。

「ねんねんころりよ　おころりよ　ぼうやはよいこだ　ねんねしな」

ここで「ねんねん/ねんね」は寝ること、「ころり」は何かが転がることを意味する擬態語、「ぼうや」は "boy"、「よいこ」は "good child" を意味します。

すなわち、この子守唄の意味は "sleep, roll, roll (lie down), you are good boy, so sleep" のようになります。
