The little birds, the little birds,
They sleep deep and sound
They snuggle up comfortably
In their soft nest

The little fox, the little fox
He is quite clever
He sleeps as soon as it gets dark
In his favorite den

The monkey child, the monkey child
Has a beautiful dream
It prefers to sleep up high
On a big tree

The horse in the stable, the horse in the stable
Doesn't need to go to sleep
It simply closes its eyes
And sleeps standing up

You little children, you little children
Tell me how do you fall asleep
Do you have a cuddly blanket
In your little bed

No matter if human, no matter if animal
We all need sleep
In the nest, in the tree, on the ground
Or simply here
