Good night kids!
Good night,
good night,
good night ...
Time to sleep! Time to sleep!
Hush, hush, sleep now.
Sleep,my baby mouse and hush now.
I'll give you a bread crust
And a little candle-grease.
Bye-bye, bye-bye.
Go to sleep my little bird,
I'll be nearby when you call
I'll give you a piece of cake
and a jug of milk
Bye-bye, bye-bye
Hush, hush, you can not sleep!
Little mouse, hush!
Bye-bye, bye-bye ...
I do not get this song!
I cannot sleep when you sing, though I burst!
Also it's better, Mom, to not feed me before sleeping,
Why don't you go and look for a nanny!
Auntie Duck, antie Duck. I'm your neighbor..
Please come over to our house and be a nanny to my mouse
as he doesn't want to sleep
Go to sleep my little one
In the garden I will go I shall find a worm for you
A fat and juicy worm to chew
Bye-bye! Bye-bye!
No your voice it is not good
You sing to loud, not as one should
What can I do, auntie duck, to keep him from a third night without sleep?
I'll go along with you. don't fear, we'll call aunt piggy in, my dear.
What do you wander around half asleep?
Hello auntie Fevronia My son does not want to sleep! And asks for a nanny to look in!
Could you come please to our house and bring to sleep my little mouse?
Bye-bye, bye-bye,
Rocking my little mouse .
Hush-a, hush
Go to sleep, I tell you.
Hush-a hush sleep...
No, your voice is not good. you sing too rough!
We're lulling this child a restless little mouse!
I can croak all night Yes, I should help.
I came to you to bring you to sleep.
Kwa-Kwa-Kwa, do not cry!
Sleep, baby mouse, until the morning,
I shall bring you a mosquito then.
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye-bye-bye ...
Your voice has not what it should bring. And such too stupid songs you sing...
You're a mouse, and I am a horse.
Sleep, my boy, sweet-sweet-sweet
Turn to the right side,
and I will give you a bag of oats!
No, your voice has not what it should bring. And much too scary songs you sing! ..
To the mouse now sings a pike but: no sound, or anything alike!
It's this song I do not like
I cannot sleep although I burst Go away and let me be Your voice is much too soft for me.
Aunt Cat, Aunt Cat! Crying out loud is our baby,
It does never want to sleep Please come to our house and be a nanny to our mouse
Tomorrow morning after tea I will come and a nanny be! He doesn't sleep late in the morning Now it's time for him to sleep
What kind of a mouse is it we're speakin'? Is it thick, or very thin?
Our little mouse is prosperous and kind Best in the world that you will find!
Well, then it's another matter. A mouse as food: there is no better
Go to sleep little baby mouse,
Purr, purr.
in your quiet bassinet
Purr, purr.
Go to sleep little baby mouse,
Purr, purr.
Go to sleep little baby mouse
Purr, purr.
Your voice is so good and kind- So sweet I hear it in my mind
In came mother at a bound Searched the bed, searched all around but silly mouse could not be found
Go to sleep little baby mouse ...
In your quiet bassinet ...
Go to sleep little baby mouse ...
Purr, purr.
In your quiet bassinet ...
Little one -Purr
Go to sleep little baby mouse ... ...In your quiet bassinet ...
Bye-bye! bye-bye! Purr, purr.
Go to sleep little baby mouse
Purr, purr
Hush, hush, sleep now.
Sleep,my baby mouse and hush now.
I'll give you a bread crust
and a little candle-grease
I'll give you a bread crust and a little candle-grease.
Bye-bye, bye-bye.
