Lullaby, my child, lullaby
of a big horse
that didn't want the water
that didn't want the water.
The water was black
there in the branches. (1)
When it gets to the bridge
it stops and dances.(2)
Who can say my child
what the water holds
with its tail so long
in its parlour green. (3)
Hey hey
Sleep now, little clove pink (4)
the horse doesn't want to drink.
Sleep now, little rose
leave the horse to its woes.
