Little Lamb who made thee
Dost thou know who made thee
Gave thee life and give thee fid
By the stream and o'er the mead;
Gave the clothing of delight,
Softest clothing wooly bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice!
Little Lamb who made thee
Dost thou know who made thee

I've got a moon above me on a starry evening,
But I can't sleep, wondering, ya leli ya lel (oh night);
Old moon maybe you see what's in the future for me,
'cause I can't see, no I can't see, ya leli ya lel;
Bright moonlight, ya nur il lel (light of the night) ah ya leli ah ya leli ah ya lel; Give us bright moonlight, ya nur il lel, morning time brings us sweetest flowers in bloom, ya nur il lel;
Make us strong moon above, we'll be startdust soon, always, each on our own, oh moon, gone from this earthly place, human race;
Gone, going on, moving on, going on, startdust song.
