Lyrics
Dom - dim - dom - dom, dim- dom - dom
Dim- dom - dom, dim- dom - dom
Dim- dom - Dom, dim- dom - dom
O reloginho tocou dim- dom - dom
T? na hora de dormir
O sol j? se foi e alua chegou
Convidando o nen?m para dormir
Descansa nen?m que eu descanso tamb?m
Pois Jesus nos guardando est?
Descansa meu bem, novo dia j? vem
Amanh? um lindo dia ser?
Dom - dim - dom - dom, dim- dom - dom
Dim- dom - dom, dim- dom - dom
O reloginho a tocar
Dom - dim - dom - dom, dim- dom - dom
Dim- dom - dom
Amanh? ele vai te acordar

Meaning & Inspiration
“Dom Dim Dom Dim” is a gentle Christian bedtime song for children. Its clock-like refrain marks the close of the day as the sun disappears and the moon arrives. The child is encouraged to rest because Jesus is watching over the night, and the promise of a new day turns sleep into an expression of safety and hope. The final lines return to the little clock, which will sound again in the morning.
The assurance of peaceful sleep closely echoes Psalm 4:8, where the psalmist lies down without fear because the Lord provides safety. The description of Jesus guarding the child also recalls Psalm 121:7-8, which speaks of the Lord keeping life and watching over every going out and coming in. Through simple domestic images, the song connects an ordinary bedtime routine with trust in God’s continuing care.
