Lullaby of Thailand

A Traditional Lullaby of Thailand

Mother and Baby Mosquito

Hush!
Who's that weeping
In the wind?
Wee-wee, wee-wee
A small mosquito
Mosquito, Mosquito
Don't come weeping
Can't you see that
Baby's sleeping?
Mosquito, Mosquito
Don't you cry
My baby's sleeping
Right nearby.

Lizard

Hush!
Who's that peeping
From the ceiling?
Tuk - GHAA, Tuk GHAA!
A long-tailed lizard.
Don't come peeping
Can't you see that
Baby's sleeping?
Lizard, lizard
Don't you cry
My baby's sleeping
Right nearby.

black cat

Hush
Who's that creeping
Under the house?
Meow, Meow
A lean black cat
Black cat, Black cat,
Don't come creeping
Can't you see that
Baby's sleeping?
Black cat, Black cat
Don't you cry
My baby's sleeping
Right nearby.

grey mouse

Hush
Who's that squeeking
By the rice barn?
Jeed - Jeed, Jeed - Jeed
A fat gray mouse.
Gray Mouse, Grey Mouse,
Don't come squeeking
Can't you see that
Baby's sleeping?
Gray Mouse, Gray Mouse,
Don't you cry
My baby's sleeping
Right nearby.
