Translation:French Nursery Rhymes/Cradle Song of a Small Sister
CRADLE SONG OF A SMALL SISTER.
Sweet cradle, I pray,
Rock my dear little brother.
Be careful not to wake him;
Otherwise I will need to keep watch.
Do not throw him to and fro;
For I would worry so.
Do not let him fall;
For you would make me cry out.
Do not throw him upside down,
That he may sleep to his heart's content.[1]
- ↑ Soûl (s.m.), from Latin "satullus," satisfied, fill, belly-full. Pour qu'il dorme tout son soûl; that he may sleep to his heart's content.
