Sweet Sleep from Nativity Fire by Graham Sparkman
Although this traditional Armenian "lullaby" is not thought of as a Christmas carol...Lullabies in general have long been used across many cultures as Nativity carols. This lullaby came from the Province of Mush, in historical Armenia (present day Turkey). The original title is "Anush K'nik (Անուշ Քնիկ), translation- "Sweet Sleep".
Քաղցր քունը եկել է քո աչքերին
Քաղցր քամիները ետ ու առաջ են փչում
Քունը եկավ իմ աղավնի
Քաղցր երգով ռոք եմ ասում
Ես պատրաստվում եմ քնեցնել իմ փոքրիկ աղավնուն
Փոքրիկիս կասեմ՝ ռոք
Կարմիր վարդի պես բացվում ես,
Քո ստվերի տակ նստած ասում եմ՝ ռոք

Lyrics
Sweet sleep has come to your eyes,
Sweet breezes are blowing back and forth.
Sleep had come to my dove,
With a sweet song I say, rock.
I will put my little dove to sleep,
I will say to my little one, rock.
You open like a red rose,
Under your shadow I sit and say, rock.
