TRANSLATION:

The Prayer

The little boy is sitting on his knees Crosses his hands so God can see Hush-quiet-what? The little boy who saves his prayers

Good God don't go away from mama She washes me and puts me to bed and stays with me Then she dresses me in warm pyjamas God bless papa I forgotten it

When I think of what happened today A little song comes to mind I may not quit my prayer Forgive me God, I ask you kindly

My pyjamas got a hood In my cap I hide my head She covers my eyes and my forehead too Nobody knows I'm there

Thank you God for a good day Did I forget something, what was it I prayed for daddy and thought of you Yes now I remember, God bless me

The little boy sleeps well The day is over , the night has come Hush-quiet-what? The little boy who saves his prayers
