Sch, kleines Baby, wein nicht mehr [English translation]

Hush, small baby, don't cry anymore,

Mummy buys you a teddy bear.

And when the teddy is not jumping anymore

Mummy buys you a butterfly.

And when the butterfly flies to far,

Mummy buys you a red dress.

And when the red dress is too red,

Mummy buys you a sailboat.

And when the sailboat is too wet,

Mummy buys you the greatest fun.

And when the greatest fun is too small,

Mummy buys you the sunshine.

And when the sun becomes dark,

Mummy buys you a little bird.

And when the bird does not sing anymore,

Mummy buys you a golden ring.

And when you don't like the small ring,

Mummy buys you the whole world.

And when the whole world is too big for you,

Mummy buys you the jackpot.

And when the jackpot is not worth it

Mummy buys you the silver moon.

And when moon is blown away in the wind,

You are the still the most beautiful child.

Hush, small baby, don't cry anymore,

Mummy buys you a teddy bear.
