WARNING
Chubby cheeks, dimple chin
Rosy lips, teeth within
Curly hair, very fair
Eyes are blue, lovely too
Teacher's pet, is that you ?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Oh, sleep, my darling,
If you'd like a star from the sky I'll give you one.
All children, even the bad ones,
Are already asleep,
Only you are not
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children, she didn’t know what to do;
She gave them some broth without any bread;
Then kissed them all soundly and put them to bed.
A sparrow stood at my window.
And said “Oh, little one.
Hide me with you
I beg you.”
I said, “Where are you from?”
“From the limits of the sky,” he said.
I said “Where did you come from?”
“From the neighbor’s house” he answered.
I said, “What are you afraid of?”
“I escaped from the cage”, he said
I said “What are your feathers?”
“Fate took care of them,” he said.
A tear fell on his cheek.
Ring around the Rosie,
a pocket full of posies,
ashes,
ashes,
we all fall down.
Sleep, little one.
If you don’t sleep,
The crab will eat you.

Bium bium bambaló
Bambaló and dilidillidó
My little friend I lull to rest
But outside, a face looks at the window
When the cruel storms rage
And the dark blizzard crouches above,
I shall light five candles
And drive away the winter shadows.
Cover your eyes,
Oh!
The Oloro is coming,
Oh!
Go and hide,
Oh!
Should I open them?
Open, open, open them!
Open, open, open them!
Whoever he finds will be killed,
Oh!
