Children's Song
(Swedish)
(English)
Bä, bä, vita lamm,
har du någon ull?
Ja, ja, kära barn,
jag har säcken full!
Helgdagsrock åt far
och söndagskjol åt mor,
och två par strumpor
åt lille-, lillebror!
Baa, baa, white lamb,
Have you any wool?
Yes, yes, dear child,
A whole sack full!
A holiday coat for father,
A Sunday dress for mother,
And two pair of socks
For baby brother.
