Literal English translation:
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Twinkle twinkle twinkle You're a little star I sometimes say I wonder what you are The one very high above this land You are like a diamond You are in the sky The Old Gray Mare The gray mare doesn't look the same, doesn't look the same, doesn't look the same. The gray mare doesn't look the same. Now she's a real old lady. Many years have now passed. Many years have now passed. The gray mare doesn’t look the same. Now she's a real old lady. It Ain't Gonna Rain No More Oh, it will not rain, it will not again, it will not rain With what shall I do it, I will wash my neck Again, it will not rain Jackrabbit Lullaby (tune unknown) Jackrabbit hunter coming home ears sticking up eyes sunken the one who hunts rabbits arrived (coming) ears sticking up eyes (like) big holes Joy to the World This land is happy Jesus has come The King has taken the world He has taken all hearts When the Lord arrives Sing to the Lord Silent Night It is very dark It is very holy All is done All is clear There a woman And her husband have a son The holy child Is silent Sleep, O Lord! Sleep, O Lord! Jesus Loves Me God loves me There the writing (Bible) says it and tells me When I die I will go to heaven, The Bible tells it like that. God loves me God loves me God loves me The Bible tells it like that God loves me The Bible tells it like that God owns little ones They are weak, he is strong |
