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!
