Old lullaby

Listen to the sad story of a beautiful white lamb
Who did not want to believe his loving mother
A little fickle lamb who was not always wise,
Oh, oh, oh, the pretty little lamb (2 times)
His loving mother Blanchette often said to him,
My child, the wolf is watching you, so be obedient
Stay in the sheepfold, close to your dear mother
Oh, oh, oh, my tender little lamb (2 times)
He wanders up the hill along the bushes
He catches on every thorn, his lovely fleece
He goes into the vast woods where the wolf lurks silently,
Oh, oh, oh, the reckless little lamb (2 times)
In the morning, his grieving mother searches for the white lamb,
She sees strands of wool, a bloody bush,
The wolf ate him without drinking
Over there in the black forest,
Oh, oh, oh, the poor little lamb (2 times)
May this cruel story serve as a lesson,
To the rebellious girl, to the little boy,
Who does not listen to his mother will be punished on this earth,
Oh, oh, oh, like the little lamb (2 times)
