Lullabies of the World
Lithuanian Lullaby
Mouse, mouse, carry the sleep
Under the little girl's pillow -
The sweet sleep.
May the cat not sense a thing,
May the little one not awake,
May she sweetly sleep.
Mouse, mouse, carry the sleep
Through nine boxrooms to the guest-chamber,
The sweet sleep.
Mouse, mouse, carry the sleep
Like a bee carries her honey,
The sweet sleep.
Along the bench, into the crib,
Under the pillow,
The sweet sleep.
May the cat not sense a thing,
May no plate break.
The sweet sleep.
The sweet sleep...
